Portugal’s biggest football stadium

In a country with such a rich sporting heritage, the Benfica Stadium stands out as its biggest, with enough capacity to seat 68,100 spectators on match days.

Home ground of SL Benfica

SL Benfica is a beloved football club from Lisbon, Portugal, founded in 1904. With over 120 years of history, this Primeira Liga team has been home to fantastic players like Luisão, Nuno Gomes, and Maxi Pereira.

A rich legacy of sporting drama

The Stadium of Light is Portugal's largest stadium and has hosted some incredible events, including two UEFA Champions League Finals (2014 and 2020) and UEFA Euro 2004. Football fans from around the world have packed this amazing venue to watch their heroes play.

It’s among Europe’s most modern football stadiums

The Benfica Stadium is not an old, easy-to-neglect landmark. In fact, this characterization is far from true. The stadium gets its nickname Estádio da Luz or Stadium of Light due to its polycarbonate roof, designed to flood the space with light no matter what the weather is like. In fact, it underwent a major renovation starting in June 2024 and concluding in July 2025.

Things to know before booking Benfica Stadium tickets 

  • Your entry tickets to the Benfica Stadium let you shape your visit the way you like. If you’re keen on Benfica’s rich history, museum tickets are the best choice, giving you time to explore at your own pace. Short on time? Opt for a concise bilingual guided tour of the stadium in Portuguese and English. For the full insider experience, combine both in a single ticket.
  • You can also book family tickets to the stadium and museum, choosing between museum access, a stadium tour, or a combo of both—perfect if you want to arrange tickets for the whole family in one go.
  • For more variety, choose a combo ticket that pairs Benfica with other Lisbon highlights. Combine your visit with the Oceanário de Lisboa, just 20 minutes away, for a mix of football and marine life.
  • Another option is the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where football heritage meets Portugal’s seafaring past.
  • Or head to Sintra with a combo that includes the Pena Palace, known for its colorful façade and sweeping views from the hills.
  • Finally, if you’d like to end your visit with a meal, pick the dining experience. This includes a stadium tour, museum entry, and either a quick bite at the Red Snack Bar or a €25 lunch voucher redeemable at Luz by Chakall.
  • With all your tickets, whether you're visiting the stadium or museum, you'll get a free Benfica scarf from the club's merchandise store!
