Established in 2007, Portugese League Cup is an annual cup competition in Portugal where Primeira Liga and Segunda Liga teams compete for the trophy. All Segunda Liga teams face each other in round 1 (one leg), except for reserve or B teams.
First-round winners, 12 Primeira Liga sides ranked 5th-16th in the previous season and two sides who secured promotion from the Segunda Liga take part in the Portugese League Cup round 2.
Third round games are played in a single round-robin format, with each of the four groups containing three round 2 winners and one of the four highest-ranked Primeira Liga teams from the previous season.
Group winners advance to the knockout phase, where semi-finals games are played as one-legged fixtures. The title game is played in a neutral ground.
