Benfica fixtures and results

Benfica results show how each completed match ended, with its date and competition providing context for the score. For South African readers following soccer, and football supporters elsewhere across the five countries, the converted kick off times help with viewing plans. Follow Benfica through the fixtures and results together: the competition label distinguishes a league result from a cup tie.

The calendar also gives African supporters a route into a club whose history reaches directly into Mozambique and Angola. Benfica’s European Cup victory in 1962, when they beat Real Madrid by five goals to three, is a useful starting point. It connects the European nights that attract casual viewers with the older story carried by Eusébio and generations of Portuguese speaking supporters.

How Do You Read Benfica Kick Off Times Across Africa?

For a Benfica fixture, read the listed date together with the converted kick off in WAT, EAT, SAST and GMT. Nigerian supporters follow WAT; EAT serves both Kenya and Uganda; South African viewers use SAST; Ghanaian readers use GMT. A late evening start makes the accompanying calendar date especially useful. Portugal’s seasonal clock changes mean the converted entry is the practical reference for arranging your Benfica viewing.

How Do You Read Benfica Fixtures and Recent Results?

Read Benfica fixtures by competition, then check the home or away marker and match status. Read the available fixture entries alongside their competition labels and match status. League rounds build a points campaign, while cup ties decide progress towards a trophy. European entries identify the tournament and stage, including Champions League or Europa League participation.

Recent results become a useful form guide when you keep venue and competition attached to every score. Compare results from the same competition and venue setting, keeping each match date attached. For each forthcoming opponent, read the head to head record with its dates and venues, then the match context. Sporting CP brings the Lisbon derby; a European tie or trophy match carries a different reason to watch.

Where Can You Follow Benfica Live in Africa?

Benfica’s country viewing entries connect African supporters with coverage, and each fixture links to a match centre carrying scores and events. Match the Eagles’ competition to the viewing details for your country: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana or Uganda, since tournament coverage can vary. For Benfica viewing at home or with fellow supporters, use the converted start time alongside the fixture status to distinguish an upcoming broadcast from a match already underway or completed.

Why Does Benfica’s Story Reach So Far Into Africa?

Eusébio gives Benfica an African connection that reaches well beyond a fixture list. Born in Lourenço Marques, now Maputo, Mozambique, in 1942, he became central to the club’s identity. Benfica won the European Cup in 1961 and retained it in 1962. For a reader discovering the Eagles through European football, those finals explain why the shirt carries such a substantial history.

Mozambique and Angola also belong in the story through their supporter communities. A study from 2006 estimated Benfica’s following at about 3.8 million in Mozambique and 2.7 million in Angola. Those are dated estimates, but they explain the depth of the connection. For readers in Nigeria, Benfica’s Mozambique connection gives the club’s European history a specific African context.

The Estádio da Luz anchors the Lisbon end of that connection, with the stadium completed in 2003. Across the city, Sporting CP supplies the derby rivalry, whose history includes the movement of eight prominent Benfica players to Sporting in 1907. When a derby appears in the schedule, open its match record for context, then check the venue and your country’s kick off time.
