The 2024–25 Taça da Liga is the eighteenth edition of the Taça da Liga (also known as Allianz Cup for sponsorship reasons), a football league cup competition organised by the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional and contested exclusively by clubs competing in the two professional divisions of Portuguese football – the top-tier Primeira Liga and the second-tier Liga Portugal 2. This season features only eight teams in the competition.^[1]

Format

As a response to the increasing density of the football calendar, the competition introduced a new format compared to the previous seasons, featuring only 8 teams instead of the all the teams from Primeira Liga and Liga Portugal 2.^[2] The top six teams from the Primeira Liga and the top two non-reserve teams from the Liga Portugal 2 will be paired according to their league positions to play single-leg quarter-final matches:

1st place (Primeira Liga) vs. 2nd place (Liga Portugal 2)
2nd place (Primeira Liga) vs. 1st place (Liga Portugal 2)
3rd place (Primeira Liga) vs. 6th place (Primeira Liga)
4th place (Primeira Liga) vs. 5th place (Primeira Liga)

The winners qualify to the final-four tournament, which was played at a neutral venue and comprised two single-leg semi-finals and a final. The final four was scheduled to be played at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, in Leiria.^[1]
