Competition format
Competition
As of 2016–17 There are 12 clubs in the Campeonato Nacional. During the course of a season (from September to May) each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for 22 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference, goal difference, matches won, and goals scored. If still equal, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. The two lowest placed teams are relegated into the Campeonato Nacional da II Divisão, and the top two teams from the Campeonato Nacional da II Divisão are promoted in their place.
Qualification for European competitions
The winner of Campeonato Nacional qualifies for the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round.
