This Wednesday, Benfica began the Red Pass renewal process for the 2026/27 season. The Portuguese club provides 50,000 seats annually at Estádio da Luz, introducing a valuation system for the most present members, who will have access to more advantageous financial conditions.
The campaign’s main novelty focuses on rewarding fans’ loyalty and attendance. Members who attended at least 80% of national competition games last season will enjoy significant discounts. This strategy aims to encourage the continued presence of fans, ensuring a fuller stadium and a vibrant atmosphere at all matches, which can directly influence the team’s performance and the public’s experience.
Details of the new Red Pass renewal policy
From today, June 26th, current Red Pass holders can secure their seats. The deadline for renewal extends until July 8, guaranteeing members the continuity of their support for the eagles in the stands of Estádio da Luz.
Loyalty reward: less is paid for more presence
Under the motto “who supports the most, pays the least”, Benfica’s campaign establishes registered presence in 2025/26 as a crucial criterion. Members who have reached or exceeded 80% attendance will have a reduced renewal price, while others will face a higher cost. This measure reinforces recognition for the most loyal fans.
Impact of expansion on seats at Estádio da Luz
Due to the increased capacity of Estádio da Luz, some queues will undergo changes in numbering and designation. However, Benfica has guaranteed that current Red Pass holders will retain their respective places. Only in cases where a member requests a change will there be a seat change.
Selling new seats: next steps
After completion of the renovation phases and possible seat exchange, seats that become available will be opened for sale. These will be offered as a priority to members on the waiting list. The club will announce the date for this new stage at an opportune time, generating expectation among the fan base.
