The 1982–83 Segunda Divisão season was the 44th season of recognised second-tier football in Portugal. ^[1]

Overview

The league was contested by 48 teams in 3 divisions with Farense, F.C. Penafiel and R.D. Águeda winning the respective divisional competitions and gaining promotion to the Primeira Liga. The overall championship was won by Farense.^[1]

The winners of each zone were promoted directly to the 1st division, while the runners-up played in a playoff called the competence tournament with the thirteenth-placed team in the 1st division, S.C. Espinho.

This was the first time in the history of Portuguese football that Belenenses played in the second division, having been relegated for the first time ever in the previous season from the 1st division.

The promotion play-off was also marked by protests from Lusitano de Évora players over unpaid wages, which resulted in the permanent removal of five starting players from the team.^[2]
