Porto won the league and qualified for the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League group stage, along with Boavista, who qualified for the third round. With the extinction of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the Taça de Portugal winner qualified for the UEFA Cup, so Beira-Mar joined Benfica, Sporting CP and Vitória de Setúbal in the 1999-2000 UEFA Cup; in opposite, Beira-Mar, Chaves and Académica Coimbra were relegated to the Liga de Honra. Mário Jardel was the top scorer with 36 goals.
