List of S.L. Benfica seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Sport Lisboa e Benfica in Portuguese and European football, from 1904 (when the club, then known as Sport Lisboa, was founded) to the most recent season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season. The Campeonato de Portugal (a predecessor of the Taça de Portugal) is included due to being considered of great importance in Portuguese football by the time it was played.

The club has won the Primeira Liga 32 times, the Taça de Portugal 24 times, the Taça da Liga 3 times, the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira 4 times, the Campeonato de Portugal 3 times, the Campeonato de Lisboa 10 times, the European Cup 2 times and the Latin Cup once.
