Rio Ave's 2026-27 season
Every club in the division is played twice, home and away, so the schedule below is the whole league seen from one side of it.
The season opens away at Gil Vicente on Aug 9, and finishes away at Moreirense on May 16. The heaviest stretch is 2 matches in seven days, from Aug 9 to Aug 15.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than local time in Portugal — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. Matches whose time the broadcasters have not yet fixed show a date and a ? instead; those are settled about five or six weeks ahead, and a match can move day as well as time when it happens. To see how Rio Ave's run compares with the rest of the division, the full grid puts all 18 clubs side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do Rio Ave play next?
Rio Ave's next match is at home against Nacional on Oct 11. The full list below shows every remaining match, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
How many games do Rio Ave play in 2026-27?
34 Primeira Liga matches: 17 at home at Estádio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube and 17 away, from Aug 9 to May 16. Cup competitions are not included.
Why do some Rio Ave matches have no kick-off time?
The Primeira Liga publishes its schedule a season ahead but confirms kick-off times only about five or six weeks in advance, after the broadcasters pick their matches — which can also move a match between Saturday, Sunday and Monday. 22 of Rio Ave's 34 matches are still waiting on that, and are shown with a date but no time.
What is Rio Ave's longest run of home games?
2 in a row, from Oct 11 to Oct 25. The longest away run is 2, from Mar 7 to Mar 14.
