List of S.C. Braga seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sporting Clube de Braga is a Portuguese sports club, from the city of Braga. The club was formed in 1921, but they only achieved their first title in the 1965–66 season, by winning the Taça de Portugal. Their football team plays at the Estádio Municipal de Braga, also known as The Quarry, which was built for UEFA Euro 2004.

Domestically, Braga has three Portuguese Cups (in 1965–66, 2015–16 and 2020–21), two Portuguese League Cups (in 2012–13 and 2019–20) and a Portuguese Football Federation Cup (in 1976–77) as well as reaching six other finals. In the 2000s, the club gradually became one of Portugal's most successful clubs, after the Big Three, and has also competed with success in the European competitions, winning the final edition of the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2008 and reaching the final of the UEFA Europa League in 2011. After finishing in second place, for the first time, in the 2009–10 Primeira Liga, Braga achieved a place in the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage, also for the first time in their history, by knocking out Celtic and Sevilla in the qualifying rounds. SC Braga would return to the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2012–13.

The table below shows the club's performance since its first presence in the second division in the 1942–43 season. This list details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the club's managers for each season.
