As of January 22, 2026, Portugal is currently ranked sixth in the UEFA country coefficient ranking. This ranking determines the number of teams each nation can send to the UEFA Champions League. A sixth-place finish guarantees three Champions League spots – two direct entries into the group stage and one spot in the third qualifying round. However, dropping to seventh place, which Portugal is at risk of doing, would reduce qualification to one direct entry and one spot in the third qualifying round.The ranking is calculated based on the performance of Portuguese clubs in European competitions over the previous five seasons.
