Why is there only one Champions League place in the Portuguese Super League? In the 2024-25 season, the Portuguese Super League champion directly advanced to the Champions League, occupying a fixed seat. So why does the Portuguese Super League have only one UEFA Champions League place? Let's take a look together.

There is only one UEFA Champions League place in the Portuguese Super League because the UEFA Champions League place is determined by UEFA based on the historical European points of each league (calculation period is 2018-2023). The Portuguese Super League did not enter the top four due to insufficient points, so the regular quota is only 1 ‌. In addition, the 2024/25 European Champions League has added a "European Performance Quota". According to the 2023/24 European Championship points ranking, the top two leagues (such as the Premier League and La Liga) can get an additional quota. Since the Portuguese Super League ranked 5th in the European Championship points ranking in 2023/24 season and failed to enter the top two, it is impossible to increase the quota through this approach.
