[4] Sixteen teams contested the league, fourteen of which took part in the previous season and two of which were promoted from the Segunda Liga.
On 20 April 2014, Benfica won the Primeira Liga for a record 33rd time with a 2–0 victory over Olhanense, with two matches to spare.
Paços de Ferreira, who finished 15th, faced Desportivo das Aves, the fourth-placed side of the 2013–14 Segunda Liga (third-placed among non-reserve teams) for a two-legged play-off to decide the 18th team to compete in the expanded 2014–15 Primeira Liga.
Paços de Ferreira defeated Desportivo das Aves 3–1 on aggregate to secure their presence in the next Primeira Liga season.
The club decided not to renew with rightsholders Olivedesportos and instead broadcast their home matches on their own channel, Benfica TV.
