The Taça da Liga was established in the 2007–08 season, thus becoming the third official competition for professional clubs in Portugal,[1] after a proposal by Sporting CP and Boavista was approved by LPFP members on 28 November 2006.

The Taça da Liga format has suffered changes throughout the competition's history in order to increase the number of matches and also revenue for both clubs and LPFP.

All knockout stage games are one-legged fixtures, with the semi-finals and finals still played in a neutral ground.

All group stage games and the quarter-finals were played during the international break surrounding the World Cup.
