The Copa de Portugal is the most important single elimination tournament in the country. It was founded in 1921 and replaced the Taça do Império , which had previously been played since 1918. The competition was organized by the S.C. Empire. The Portuguese Football Federation does not grant validity to the titles of those three editions (all won by Benfica).

The number of participants has varied year after year, but it is always higher than 128 teams. The first round is made up of the Portugal Championship clubs (third category) and the best from each of the country's districts. Those of the LigaPro enter into action in the second round. The Liga NOS teams begin to play in the third round. Subsidiaries are not allowed access. The pairings of the first rounds serve geographical criteria. All the heats up to the final are resolved to a single match. The champion qualifies for the Europa League .

The final of the Portuguese Cup has been held, with few exceptions, since 1946 at the Estádio Nacional de Portugal . Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, as sanitary conditions in the venue could not be guaranteed, the title match has moved to the Estadio Cidade de Coimbra .

In 2021, it is broadcast in the country through RTP1 (free) and Sport TV (pay) . For abroad it is available through RTP Internacional and RTP Africa , as well as in many channels in other countries around the world.
