Futebol Clube do Porto B, commonly known as Porto B, is a Portuguese professional football team, which serves as the reserve side of FC Porto. They compete in the Liga Portugal 2, the second division of Portuguese football, and play their home matches at the CTFD PortoGaia main pitch.[1]

As a reserve side, the team cannot compete in the same division as their senior team, thus being ineligible for promotion to the Primeira Liga. In addition, they cannot participate in other domestic cup competitions, such as the Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga.

Domestically, Porto B are the first and only reserve side to have won the second division title, after a successful campaign in the 2015–16 season. Internationally, the team is the record holder of the Premier League International Cup competition, after two wins in the 2016–17 and 2017–18 editions.
