Benfica play at the 64,000-seat Estádio da Luz in Lisbon. As one of the Primeira Liga's giants, Benfica's biggest matches — particularly O Clássico against Porto and the Lisbon derby against Sporting CP — are scheduled in the 20:30 or 21:15 WET Sunday evening prime-time slot.
Two-time European champions in the early 1960s under the great Eusébio, Benfica claim one of the largest club memberships in the world and fill the Estádio da Luz — the Stadium of Light — with a sea of red on big nights, complete with the pre-match release of the club's eagle mascot. O Clássico against Porto and the Lisbon derby with Sporting are the fixtures the calendar bends around. Because Portugal keeps the same clock as the UK, Benfica's late Sunday kick-offs are a manageable evening for British and West African fans but a much later affair for supporters in the Gulf and India, and an overnight commitment across Australia.
