Events

União de Leiria were relegated to the second division due to not fulfilling the mandatory requirements by the Portuguese League for Professional Football regarding the application process to professional competitions.^[1] Thus, Sporting Covilhã was invited to stay in the Segunda Liga despite being relegated in the previous season.^[2]

Varzim, the 2011–12 Segunda Divisão champions, also did not fulfill the requirements and were not registered in the Segunda Liga. Again, Portimonense were invited to remain in the Segunda Liga.^[3]
