Where to Watch Sporting CP vs Benfica in the Supertaca Candido de Oliveira for Free?

The 2025/26 Portuguese football league season will kick off with the Supertaca Candido de Oliveira clash between the defending league champions, Sporting CP, who will be taking on a determined Benfica side in what should be a feisty encounter at the Estadio Algarve on Thursday evening.

The Derby de Lisboa is widely considered the biggest and feistiest derby in the Portuguese football scene. There have been 144 matches between these two rivals, with Benfica winning on 87 occasions and Sporting winning 57 games. In their last five games, Sporting have won four times and Benfica are yet to defeat them since 2022! The most recent Derby de Lisboa took place at the end of the 2024/25 season, when Sporting CP defeated Benfica in the Taca de Portugal final.

Sporting CP have had a bit of a mixed bag of a preseason campaign heading into this game. They have won two of their four games so far, only scoring three goals in that period as well and only managing slender 1-0 wins over Villarreal and Sunderland in recent games.

Benfica had a pretty solid Club World Cup campaign, where they defeated Bayern Munich in the group stages and progressed the Round of 16, only to lose to Chelsea. Benfica have won three of their last five matches, which includes a recent 3-2 win over Fenerbahce in a preseason friendly.

Rui Borges is going to be without some important squad players for this clash. The likes of Joao Simoes (broken leg), Daniel Braganca (knee) and Nuno Santos (knee) are all doubtful and likely to miss this clash. Centre-back Matheus is also going to be suspended for this match.

Bruno Lage is also set to be without some players for the upcoming Super Cup game. He is likely to miss his defender Bruma, who is still recovering from an injury. Manu Silva and Alexander Bah are both recovering from knee injuries and are not going to make a return to action anytime soon.
