* ↑ Vitória de Setúbal and Aves failed to produce valid licensing documentation to compete in the 2020–21 seasons of the Primeira Liga and LigaPro, respectively, so they were punished by the Portuguese Professional Football League with direct relegation to the Campeonato de Portugal. As a result, Portimonense (17th place) were invited to remain in the top tier for the 2020–21 season.
