The 2026–27 Taça da Liga will be the twentieth 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. It was the second season featuring only eight teams in the competition.
Format As in the season before, the top six teams from the Primeira Liga and the top two non-reserve teams from the Liga Portugal 2 were 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 qualified 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 played at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, in Leiria for the sixth season in a row.
