The 2024 Taça da Liga final was the final match of the 2023–24 Taça da Liga, the seventeenth season of the Taça da Liga. It was played on 27 January 2024 at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa.

The competition involved the 34 clubs playing in the top two tiers of the Portuguese football league system – 18 from Primeira Liga and 16 from Liga Portugal 2 – during the 2022–23 season. Reserve sides of Primeira Liga teams that played in the 2023–24 Primeira Liga were excluded from the competition.

Braga and Estoril faced off for the first time in the first final involving both teams, with Estoril making into their first cup final since the 1944 Taça de Portugal final. In the final, Braga won the final 5–4 after a penalty shootout, thus becoming only the third team (after Benfica and Sporting CP) in the competition's history to win the Taça da Liga for their third time.

Background

[edit]

This season featured the return of the final four format with both the semi-finals and the final being played over a space of a few days in the same venue. The Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa hosted all matches. Braga made their fifth appearance in the Taça da Liga final after their last final in 2021, where they were defeated by Sporting CP 2–1.[1][2] Estoril made into their first appearance in any national competition final in the club's history in 80 years, with their last cup final being in the 1944 Taça de Portugal final, where they lost to Benfica.[3]
