2003–04 in Portuguese football

The 2003-2004 football season in Portuguese football was dominated by FC Porto. Although Porto failed to win the Portuguese Double because of Benfica, the club won the UEFA Champions League, becoming the first Portuguese team to do so in the current form of the competition.

The 2003-2004 season was dominated by FC Porto. After winning the SuperLiga, the Cup of Portugal and the UEFA Cup in 2003, José Mourinho's side dominated the championship from start to finish.

Benfica maintained the second place achieved in 2002-2003.

Sporting Clube de Portugal had a disappointing season, finishing third. At the end of the season coach Fernando Santos resigned.

CD Nacional was the great surprise finishing fourth. Due to Porto's success in European competition the previous year, the third (Sporting Clube de Portugal), fourth (CD Nacional) and fifth placed (SC Braga) teams qualified for the UEFA Cup.

The 2003-2004 edition of the Cup of Portugal was won by Benfica that defeated FC Porto 2-1 in the final.

Because both teams in the final had already qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup spot usually allocated to the winner of the Cup went to CS Marítimo, who finished sixth in the SuperLiga.
