Watch a home game of the two biggest Portuguese football teams
During this 6-hour experience, you and your friends will have the opportunity to watch a game of Sporting or Benfica and feel the passion of Portuguese fans up close.
Lisbon, a city of history, culture, and… football!
For groups of friends, watching a Benfica or Sporting match with local guidance becomes a deep cultural immersion that is hard to replicate on your own, especially when tickets are in high demand and local rituals — from the bifana to the chants — follow their own codes.
A brief journey through its history
On a match day, the city shifts its rhythm: there are more shirts in the streets, more conversations about the team, and a collective energy that helps you understand Lisbon beyond the usual tourist postcard. This Match Day experience is designed to bring visitors closer to that more authentic side, without requiring them to master the local context before they arrive.
Sporting CP
Sporting CP is currently in a strong period and enters this experience as national back-to-back champion, after winning the league in 2023/24 and 2024/25. In the updated 2026 context, the club has 25 National Championship titles, including the 4 Campeonato de Portugal titles, 18 Portuguese Cups — with a win in 2025 — and 9 Super Cups.

SL Benfica
SL Benfica remains the club with the most trophies in Portugal and carries a very distinctive historical weight in the city. In 2026, it holds 38 league titles, 26 Portuguese Cups, 10 Super Cups — after winning the 2025 edition against Sporting by 1-0 — and 2 European titles.

The experience concept
The experience begins with meeting the local host at the Hard Rock Café (Praça dos Restauradores).
Next, you’ll take the metro with the group towards the stadium of the club you chose. Upon exiting the metro, the group will head to the food trucks, where you’ll enjoy a delicious “Bifana” (pork sandwich) and two beers to get into the match’s spirit.
After this convivial moment, the host will give you your ticket and accompany you to the stadium gate.
Upon arriving at the stadium, whether it’s Sporting’s or Benfica’s, the atmosphere will take over you. You’ll learn the club’s chants by heart, even if you don’t understand their lyrics. 😉
Note: Portuguese league matches are held on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, or Mondays.
For groups of friends
This experience works especially well for friends who want to move beyond the usual sightseeing circuit and look for an activity with identity, collective energy, and local meaning. Instead of simply “watching a game,” the group steps into an authentic Lisbon ritual, with stadium atmosphere, supporters, street food, and local storytelling all in one program.
Don’t miss the chance to make your trip to Lisbon even more special with this unmissable experience!
