Buy Benfica vs Alverca tickets for the 2026/27 Season for the Liga Portugal round 10 match at Estádio da Luz on Monday 2 November 2026, kick-off 20:15 Lisbon time (20:15 UK, 00:15 Tuesday UAE). Benfica host the club that once served as their own affiliate, now back in the top flight for a second straight season.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
A Monday night league match at the Luz is one of the most accessible ways to see Benfica at home. Prices for a match like this typically sit well below the Lisbon derby and the Clássico, the bowl still holds more than 68,000 and the lower tier behind the south goal still makes plenty of noise on a school night.
It also fits neatly into a short trip. The match falls three days before a Europa League night at the same stadium, so visitors can see two Benfica home games in one week. Everything you need is below, from prices by tier to how entry works at every Benfica home match this season.
Benfica went through the whole of 2025/26 unbeaten in the league, finishing third with 23 wins and 11 draws. The club now sells 50,000 Red Pass seats for 2026/27, which means a large share of the stadium is spoken for before any match ticket goes on sale.
The visitors bring a story of their own. FC Alverca climbed from the third tier to the top flight in back-to-back seasons, returned to the Liga in 2025/26 for the first time since 2003/04 and finished 11th. A Brazilian and Spanish investor group bought a majority stake in the club in 2025, which drew attention well beyond the town of Alverca do Ribatejo.
Last season's meeting at the Luz in February was settled by a goal four minutes from time, so the visitors arrive with recent evidence that they can make Benfica work for the points.
Distance shapes the away end. Alverca sits in the Vila Franca de Xira municipality, a short train ride up the line from Lisbon, so this is close to a local trip for the visiting support.
The schedule adds a second reason to book early. Benfica play away at Estrela da Amadora on Sunday 8 November, but before that they host Benfica vs Lech Poznań in the Europa League league phase on Thursday 5 November. For visitors, that makes a two-match week at the Luz possible.
Yes. For this match, Benfica opened sales to sócios with paid-up dues first, then opened a general sale to registered fans, Casa do Benfica members and the general public. Non-members do not need to join the club to buy, but they pay the higher public price.
The club's public prices for this fixture run from €30 to €95, depending on the stand and tier. Sócios pay less in every area, and registered fans receive a small cashback to a virtual wallet. Purchases are capped at five tickets per transaction, with no exchanges or refunds.
Season seats are a different story. Red Pass holders, all of them sócios, occupy a large part of the ground for every domestic home match, and new Red Pass places for 2026/27 were sold in July to the members' waiting list. Those seats only reach other members through the club's own resale tool, which is open to Red Pass sócios alone.
Club tickets are personal. If you buy through the club for someone else, the checkout asks for that person's name and ID details, and a sócio discount only applies to the member using the seat.
For overseas buyers, the practical issues are timing and choice. The club window opens a few weeks before each match, while travel is often booked earlier, and the best-placed seats in each tier can sell first. A marketplace listing shows the area, price and delivery method before checkout, so you can lock in seats as soon as your trip is fixed.
Five factors move the price for this match: seat location, demand on the night, how close to kick-off you buy, the competition context and whether you want a hospitality tier. A Monday league game against Alverca typically sits at the lower end of the Luz price range for 2026/27, well below the Sporting and Porto matches.
The club prices the ground in two bands. Seats in the BTV and Emirates stands cost more than seats in the Mais Vantagens and Sagres stands, and within each band the level matters: Piso 1 is the most expensive, while Piso 3 superior is the cheapest level in both bands. Resale prices usually sit above face value because they reflect choice and timing that the club window cannot offer.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piso 3 superior, Mais Vantagens or Sagres | £30 – £60 | Budget buyers | Highest seats in the bowl, full view of the pitch |
| Piso 3, BTV or Emirates | £40 – £75 | First-time visitors on a budget | Upper tier with a more central angle |
| Piso 0, any stand | £45 – £95 | Fans who want to be close to the pitch | Lower tier; superior rows give a better view than the front rows |
| Piso 1, BTV or Emirates | £80 – £150 | Couples and small groups | The priciest general-sale level, sitting between the two main tiers |
| Executive Seats and boxes | £200 – £500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access and catering; limited availability on resale |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Seat location does most of the work. On the club's own price list for this match, a public Piso 1 seat in the BTV or Emirates stands costs more than three times a Piso 3 superior seat in the cheaper band, and resale follows the same shape.
Timing comes next. The club sale for this match opened on 14 October for members and 15 October for everyone else. Resale prices can ease if the general sale leaves seats in every tier, or firm up in the cheaper areas once the club's lower-priced seats sell through.
Competition context sets the ceiling. A Monday visit from Alverca typically draws far less demand than the home matches against Sporting or Porto, so prices for this match leave room in the budget for a second game in the same trip.
The Luz is a four-stand bowl, sold under the BTV, Emirates, Mais Vantagens and Sagres names. Tickets are sold by level: Piso 0 is the lower tier, Piso 1 is the narrow middle level that also houses much of the VIP space, and Piso 3 is the large upper tier. Piso 0 and Piso 3 are each split into inferior and superior sections on the price list, and in Piso 0 the superior rows cost a little more than the inferior ones.
The club set the capacity at 68,100 from 2025/26 after the first phase of an expansion, with further seats planned. The most vocal home support gathers in the lower tier behind the south goal, while visiting fans have been placed in the north-east corner of the upper level.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower tier, south end | Fans who want to stand and sing | Lower to mid | Home to the most organised home support; expect standing and singing throughout |
| Lower tier, longsides | Close-up views of the touchline | Mid | Front rows sit low to the pitch; superior rows give a better angle |
| Piso 1, longsides | Central views at a mid height | Premium | Smaller level with strong general-sale sightlines |
| Upper tier, longsides | Neutral buyers and families | Lower to mid | High but central, with a clear view of team shape |
| Upper tier, ends and corners | Budget buyers | Lower | Steep climb, so allow extra time to reach your seat |
| Away section, north-east corner, upper level | Alverca supporters only | Lower | Recent European visitors have used Porta 23V and blocks 32 to 34; segregated from home areas |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the longsides, either Piso 0 superior or Piso 3. You get the noise from the south end without sitting in it, and you avoid the segregation around the away corner. Avoid wearing colours of either club in home areas.
Organised supporter zones at Portuguese grounds follow their own rules. Tickets for those zones are personal, carry the holder's name and are matched to photo ID, and under-16s may enter only with an adult. If a listing sits in or near the south lower tier, read the notes carefully before you buy.
Benfica sell hospitality through two families of product, both mainly by the season. Camarotes are private boxes for 12 to 21 guests, with catering, parking spaces and, at the top levels, European away trips. Executive Seats pair a seat with access to one of several lounges, from the new Emirates Lounge to the Benfica Museum.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Seats with lounge access | Couples and business guests on a single visit | Lounge dining before and after the match plus a central seat |
| Restaurante Luz by Chakall | Food-led visitors | Restaurant hospitality linked to a matchday seat |
| Museum lounge seats | Fans who want the club's history on the night | Hospitality inside the Benfica Museum building |
| Camarotes (private boxes) | Companies and larger groups | Private space for 12 to 21 guests with catering and parking |
The Executive Seats range covers the Emirates Lounge, the Amesterdão and Berna rooms, the HN Lounge, the Amicis Lounge, Restaurante Luz by Chakall and the Benfica Museum, and each seat comes with a parking space in one of the stadium car parks.
The newest product, the Emirates Lounge, opened in October 2026 with 160 seats and chef-designed menus. It sold out for the season at €12,500 per seat, which gives a sense of where the top of the market sits.
Single-match hospitality on resale is rarer than general admission, so check exactly what a listing includes. If lounge entry, food or parking are not mentioned, treat it as a seat only. For a Monday league match, a Piso 1 seat and dinner in the city often makes more sense than a lounge package.
Benfica tickets are digital. The club sends match tickets by email as a PDF, sometimes as late as 12 hours before kick-off, and member tickets sit in the club's app. Tickets carry the holder's name and ID number, and stewards may check the holder's identity against the ticket.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF by email) | Confirm the email address on your order and save the PDF to your phone before you leave |
| Club app ticket | Read the listing notes for how the ticket reaches you and install the app in advance |
| Executive Seat or box access | Check the entrance, lounge opening time and parking details on the listing |
| Late delivery close to kick-off | Tickets are often issued in the final 12 hours; note the expected delivery time at checkout |
For a 20:15 kick-off, that pattern puts gates at around 18:15. Aim to reach Colégio Militar/Luz by about 19:00, which leaves time for security and the climb to an upper-tier seat. Alto dos Moinhos, one stop away on the same line, is a useful alternative on the way home if the nearest station is busy.
Children under 3 are not admitted, and everyone aged 3 or over needs a ticket. After a 20:15 kick-off, the Blue Line runs until 01:00, so the metro remains the simplest way back into the centre.

A Monday league match against Alverca already gives better value than the big Lisbon nights, and the gap between areas is wide enough that small choices change the total. A few habits stretch the budget further.
Lisbon Airport sits on the Metro's Red Line. Ride it to São Sebastião, change to the Blue Line and continue to Colégio Militar/Luz or Alto dos Moinhos, both a short walk from the stadium. From the city centre, the Blue Line runs direct from Baixa-Chiado and Marquês de Pombal. A single journey costs €1.90 on a rechargeable navegante card, which itself costs €0.50.
Prices on 1BoxOffice can be shown in GBP, EUR, USD or AED, while anything bought at the stadium is paid in euros.
Lisbon runs on UTC+0 in November, so kick-off is 20:15 in London and 00:15 on Tuesday in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Ask for seats together at checkout if you are travelling as a group. The Liga set the date and time in September, but league fixtures can still shift around broadcast and European commitments, so check the listing for the latest kick-off and book flexible travel where possible.
Plan any stadium tour for a non-match day. The Benfica Museum closes on first-team home matchdays and stadium visits are restricted, so Tuesday or Wednesday between the two home games works well. A combined stadium and museum ticket costs €24 for an adult.
Staying for the European night? Benfica vs OFI Crete on Thursday 10 December is the next Europa League home match after Lech Poznań.
For a winter break later in the season, Benfica vs AZ Alkmaar on Thursday 28 January 2027 closes the league phase at the Luz.
The two clubs were partners before they were rivals. Between 1996/97 and 1997/98, Alverca operated as a Benfica affiliate, with players, coaches and other resources on loan from Lisbon, and Benfica loans continued into the early 2000s. When Alverca reached the top flight in 1998, the first league meeting at the old Luz finished 2-2.
The affiliate did not stay deferential for long. Alverca beat Benfica 3-1 at home in October 1999 and 2-1 in December 2000, then won 2-0 at the old Luz in May 2001, still their only league win in Lisbon. Benfica took control after that, winning the last six meetings, including a 3-0 at Alverca in November 2003 and the first meeting at the new Luz in March 2004.
What makes the fixture distinctive is its shape. Alverca won three of the first six meetings, then lost the next six, and the two most recent matches were both settled by a single goal. For a buyer, that points to a home win on paper and a match that recent history says can stay tight late on.
Benfica and Alverca have met only twice in the league at the current Estádio da Luz, so the figures below cover every top-flight league meeting between the clubs at all venues, from 1998/99 to 2025/26.

No. Members buy first, but this match also went on general sale to the public at a higher price than the member rate.
Visiting supporters are placed in a segregated area in the north-east corner of the upper level, with their own entrance.
Club tickets can be emailed as late as 12 hours before kick-off, so a late arrival is normal. Your order status shows progress throughout.
Children aged 3 and over can attend with their own ticket. Under-3s are not admitted to the stadium.
Yes, filter for listings marked as seated together. The club caps each purchase at five, so larger groups can book through a single marketplace order where a listing has enough seats together.
