The 2008–09 Ligakupa was the second edition of the Hungarian League Cup, the Ligakupa. The first matches were played on 1 October 2008 and the final was held on 13 May 2009 at the Révész Street Stadium in Siófok.
Fehérvár won a second consecutive title, defeating a second division team, Pécs 3–1 in the final.
Format Participating teams were from the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 8 from the Nemzeti Bajnokság II. Each six club in each of the four groups played each other twice, so the regular season was ten rounds, with the final two rounds took place in February. The top two finishers from each group progressed and, following a managed draw (group opponents could only met in the final), started the straight knockout stage. The quarter-finals and semi-finals were two-legged matches, with the winner decided in a single final meeting.
