Buy Benfica vs Casa Pia AC tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are buying one of the more attainable Benfica home dates of the winter. The Round 19 match is scheduled for Sunday 24 January 2027 at the Estádio da Luz, with the kick-off time confirmed by Liga Portugal a few weeks before the round, as it is for every matchday beyond the autumn schedule. Benfica went through the whole of last season unbeaten in the league and still finished third, which tells you how fierce the title race has become, and a January home match against a side that survived relegation on the final weekend is one they expect to win comfortably.

Casa Pia are the Lisbon club nobody outside Portugal knew until 2022, when they returned to the top flight after 83 years away. They have stayed up for four seasons since, scraping through a play-off last May, and they were on the wrong end of a seven-goal defeat at home to Benfica in August. That makes the return match at the Luz a fixture the home crowd treats as an evening out rather than a test, and the ticket market reflects it.
Resale listings for the fixture opened at £49.81 in the upper tier, with more than 120 tickets available across a dozen listings when they were checked, and the highest-priced upper-tier seat under £100. For a Benfica home league match that is close to the bottom of the price range, and it makes this one of the better January dates for a first visit to the Luz. The sections below set out what each bracket buys, where Casa Pia's supporters sit, how the club's own sale works and how to complete a purchase.
The Luz holds 68,100 and around 50,000 of those seats belong to Red Pass season-ticket holders, which leaves a band of roughly 18,000 single-match tickets for every home fixture. Benfica averaged close to 59,000 for league matches last season, 86% of capacity and the highest figure in Portugal, so even a fixture against the side that finished 16th fills most of the ground. The single-match band is where the market sits, and demand for it depends less on the opponent than on the day, the time and what is on television.
Casa Pia bring a small travelling support, and their allocation at the Luz rarely approaches the 5% of capacity that visiting clubs are entitled to by regulation. That matters for buyers because the away sector does not compete with home-section supply, and because the crowd is almost entirely Benfica, which gives the match the feel of a home celebration rather than a contest between two sets of fans.
Timing adds a third factor. The match falls in the week between the Europa League league-phase matchdays in late January, with Benfica hosting AZ Alkmaar four days later, and overseas visitors who plan a trip around the European night add the league match to the same booking. That is the buyer who pays for a longside seat at a match the locals treat as routine, and it is why the upper-tier listings clear faster than the fixture's profile suggests.
Yes, and this is one of the fixtures where the club's own sale usually reaches the general public. Benfica sell in a fixed order: Red Pass holders first, then sócios, then registered supporters and Casa do Benfica members and finally a general sale. For the derbies that order never reaches the final stage, because the single-match band clears among members. For a Sunday match against Casa Pia the public phase normally opens, with a maximum of five tickets per purchase and no exchanges or refunds once bought.
The catch for a visitor is timing and format. The public phase opens in the days before the match, tickets are digital and delivered through the club app or by email up to twelve hours before kick-off, and children aged three and over need their own ticket while under-threes are not admitted. A buyer outside Portugal who wants seats in a specific stand, or four seats together, is working against a short window and a sale designed for the local membership rather than for travel planning.
The resale market exists for exactly that buyer. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from Red Pass holders and members who cannot use their seat, and they appear months before the club's own public phase. Prices sit above face value, as the site states on every listing, and what you pay for is the ability to choose a tier and a quantity now, with delivery to your phone before the match rather than a queue on the club's site in the final week.
Five factors move the price of a seat for this fixture: the tier and stand, how far ahead of 24 January you buy, Benfica's position in the title race at the time, the kick-off time once Liga Portugal confirms it and whether the seat sits in a designated home fan area. The ranges below reflect listings for the fixture in the 2026/27 season and will shift as the match approaches.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier, standard | £49 – £60 | Price-first buyers and first visits to the Luz | Piso 3; the largest block of availability for this fixture and the lowest entry point |
| Upper tier, home fan area | £85 – £100 | Supporters who want to sit among Benfica fans | Listings marked as home areas; expect colours, singing and standing in parts of the tier |
| Middle tier, longside | £90 – £140 | Neutral buyers who want the full view | Piso 1 longside seats appear closer to the match as members release them |
| Lower tier, longside and ends | £110 – £180 | Buyers who want to be close to the pitch | Piso 0; the supporter zones behind the goals need a named ticket and photo identification |
| Executive seats and boxes | Varies by package | Corporate entertaining and special occasions | Sold through the club's corporate programme; no resale listings at the time of checking |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The comparison that matters is with the rest of the Luz calendar. Benfica's home derby against Sporting in December had no listings months out and was priced by the competitor market in the hundreds, the Europa League match against Lech Poznan in November opened at just over £50, and this fixture opened under £50. The gap is the point: for a buyer who wants to see Benfica at home rather than a particular opponent, a January match against Casa Pia buys the same stadium, the same crowd and the same walk down from Colégio Militar for a fraction of a derby ticket.
The Estádio da Luz opened in October 2003 and is laid out as a continuous three-tier bowl: Piso 0 at pitch level, Piso 1 as the middle tier and Piso 3 as the upper tier, with the premium level between them. The four stands carry sponsor names, Emirates, BTV, Sagres and Mais Vantagens, and the club's higher price bands sit in the Emirates and BTV stands with the organised supporter zones in sector 28 of the Mais Vantagens stand and sectors 5 and 6 of the Sagres stand at Piso 0. No venue or seating-plan guide for the ground exists on 1BoxOffice yet, so the block descriptions in each listing are your reference when you buy.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piso 3 upper tier, standard sectors | Price-first buyers and first visits | Lower | Steep rake and a complete view of the pitch; the sections with the most availability for this fixture |
| Piso 3 upper tier, home fan areas | Visitors who want to sit inside the Benfica support | Lower to mid | Louder, more standing and more colour than the standard sectors; not a seat for a quiet watch |
| Piso 1 middle tier, Emirates and BTV stands | Neutral buyers who want the balanced view | Mid | Covered, central and the strongest value seat for reading the match; released by members in the final fortnight |
| Piso 0 lower tier, Emirates and BTV stands | Buyers who want to be close to the play | Upper | The club's higher face-value bands sit here; the first seats to clear once the club's own sale opens |
| Piso 0 behind the goals, sectors 5-6 and 28 | Home supporters who want the organised-fan atmosphere | Mid | Designated supporter zones with named tickets and photo identification on entry; standing throughout |
| Away sector (Casa Pia supporters) | Travelling Casa Pia fans | Lower | Allocated by the club in the upper tier and sold through Casa Pia; visiting supporters may not enter other sectors and home colours are not admitted there |
Undecided buyers and neutrals are best served by the Piso 3 upper tier for this fixture. It is the lowest-priced route into the ground, the view is complete from every sector and the price difference against the middle tier is wide for a match of this profile. Colégio Militar/Luz and Alto dos Moinhos on the blue metro line are both a few minutes' walk from the gates, which open two hours before kick-off.
Benfica's premium operation runs through executive seats and three tiers of boxes on the level between the middle and upper tiers, plus the Emirates Lounge that opened in October 2026 with 160 seats and sold out for the season. For a January league match against Casa Pia the club's corporate programme carries the hospitality supply, and resale listings for premium seats were not available at the time of checking, so the tiers below describe what exists rather than what is currently on the market.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Executive seats | Fans who want comfort without a full dining package | Padded seats on the premium level with lounge access before kick-off and at half-time |
| Silver boxes | Groups of friends and small business parties | Shared box viewing with catering and a dedicated host at a lower premium than the top tiers |
| Gold and Platinum boxes | Corporate entertaining | Private boxes on the halfway line with dining, premium bar access and parking |
| Emirates Lounge | Season-long corporate members | The club's newest premium space, sold by the season rather than by match |
Hospitality at the Luz for a mid-table visitor is the most accessible it gets, because corporate demand concentrates on the derbies and the European nights. A buyer who wants to test the premium level for the first time is better placed at a fixture like this one than at any of the three big home matches of the season.
Benfica issue every ticket digitally and the resale listings for this fixture are all e-tickets. Read the listing notes before you pay, because the method determines what you need on your phone at the turnstile and whether the ticket is tied to a name.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| E-ticket | That the file opens on your phone, that the barcode is not a screenshot and the date the ticket is released, which for Portuguese fixtures is often in the final days |
| Mobile transfer | Which app or wallet the ticket arrives in and whether you need an account with the club to accept it |
| Named ticket in a supporter zone | Whether the seat is in sectors 5, 6 or 28, where tickets are named and photo identification is checked on entry |
| Collection in Lisbon | The collection point and its hours on a Sunday, and the identification required at handover |
Carry your passport or identity card, charge your phone and keep the original ticket file open at the gate. The club does not admit children under three, and every child aged three or over needs a ticket of their own. Visiting supporters found outside the away sector are removed, and the same applies to anyone in Casa Pia colours in a home section.
1BoxOffice has operated as a verified marketplace since 2006, and if the tickets you buy are not delivered and no alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund and may also receive a credit voucher worth 50% of the order value, the cover marketed as the 150% guarantee.

Step5

Pay by Visa, Mastercard or Google Pay through the encrypted checkout. You will receive an order confirmation by email immediately, with the delivery timeline stated in the message.
Step6
Track your order
Follow delivery status and manage your booking through track order. E-tickets for Portuguese fixtures are typically released in the days before the match.
Lisbon's airport is three metro stops from the Luz on the red line with one change to the blue line, which puts the stadium within half an hour of landing. Portugal runs on Western European Time, the same as the UK for the whole season, and an evening kick-off in Lisbon is four hours later in the Gulf, so a buyer in Dubai or Riyadh is watching close to midnight if they stay at home. Choose an e-ticket or mobile transfer rather than any method that depends on a courier, because a parcel to an address abroad can arrive after you have left.
The date comes from the league calendar and the kick-off time is not confirmed until a few weeks before the round, and Portuguese fixtures do move between Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for television. Build in a spare day. Benfica host AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on the Thursday after this match, so a longer stay can take in both, and the return fixture at Casa Pia's temporary home in Rio Maior comes later in the spring.
Casa Pia are one of Portuguese football's oldest names, founded in 1920 by former pupils of the Casa Pia orphanage in Lisbon, and they were among the founder members of the national first division in 1938. That inaugural season was their only top-flight campaign for 83 years, so when they came up in 2022 the league meetings with Benfica were effectively a new fixture. The first four seasons back did not go entirely to script. Benfica won the first two meetings at the Luz 3-0, but Casa Pia drew there in 2023 and again in 2025, and in January 2025 they beat Benfica 3-1 at Rio Maior for their only league win in the fixture.
What gives the fixture a thread is the venue question on Casa Pia's side. Their historic Pina Manique ground is waiting on a rebuild approved by Lisbon's city council, so for a third season they are playing home matches at Rio Maior, an hour north of Lisbon, which is where Benfica scored seven in August. For the Benfica support the return at the Luz is a chance to see the side that scored seven in August against a defence that conceded 57 league goals last season, and to put right the 2-2 draw that cost two points at home in November 2025. For the neutral it is a low-priced way into a stadium that fills for every fixture. The season's two Lisbon derbies, the Sporting match in December and the visit of FC Porto in the spring, are the louder Luz nights; this is the one that is easy to get into.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the mismatch between the billing and the record. Benfica have never lost to Casa Pia at the Luz, yet two of the four league meetings there finished level, and the August result in Rio Maior was the widest margin between the clubs since 1939. That combination is why the ticket is one of the lower-priced Benfica home dates and still a match the home crowd turns up for, and why a buyer who wants the Luz experience without derby prices should look here first.
The exact scope for this fixture, Liga Portugal matches at the Estádio da Luz with Benfica as hosts, contains four meetings, all since Casa Pia's return in 2022. Because that is fewer than five, the table below covers all Liga Portugal meetings between the clubs at any venue, including the two from the inaugural 1938/39 season. Cup ties are excluded.

Results verified against the RSSSF Portuguese league archives, Liga Portugal and club match records and contemporary match reports.
Yes. The club's general sale usually opens for this kind of fixture in the days before the match, and resale listings from existing ticket holders are available months earlier to anyone with an account.
Resale listings for this fixture start under £50 in the upper tier and run to around £100 for upper-tier home fan areas, with the middle and lower tiers priced higher as members release seats closer to the match.
In an upper-tier away sector allocated by Benfica and sold through Casa Pia, within the 5% of capacity visiting clubs are entitled to. Visiting supporters may not enter any other sector.
Liga Portugal publishes kick-off times a few weeks before each round, and matches can move between Friday and Monday for television, so keep travel plans flexible until the time is published.
Listings state whether seats are consecutive and the seated-together filter shows only those blocks. Several upper-tier listings for this fixture are seated in pairs, so groups of four should buy two adjacent pairs early.
