It began in September 1995[1] and concluded with the final at the Estádio Nacional on 18 May 1996.
[2] Benfica defeated Sporting 3–1 in the final to win their 23rd Taça de Portugal.
[3] As a result of them winning the domestic cup competition, Benfica faced 1995–96 Primeira Divisão winners Porto in the 1996 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.
[6][7] Due to the odd number of teams involved at this stage of the competition, Olhanense qualified for the quarter-finals due to having no opponent to face at this stage of the competition.
