The winners qualify for the2022–23 UEFA Europa League group stage and play the2022 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira against the2021–22 Primeira Liga winners. As Porto secured qualification to the2022–23 UEFA Champions League by league ranking, the cup winner's place in the Europa League was thus transferred to the league's fourth-placed team,Braga. Consequently, the league's fifth- and sixth-placed teams,Gil Vicente andVitória de Guimarães, qualified instead for the2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League third and second qualifying rounds, respectively.As Porto also won the league title, they played the 2022 Supertaça match against the cup runners-up, Tondela.
