A total of 37 teams contested this tournament, including 18 teams from the 2015–16 Primeira Liga and 19 non-reserve teams from the 2015–16 LigaPro. The competition format suffered changes relative to the previous season, with the first round (round-robin group stage) and second round (two-legged ties) being converted into single-legged knockout rounds.

Trophy holders Benfica defeated previous runners-up Marítimo in the final to extend their record in the competition to seven wins.

Format

The competition format for the 2015–16 season consisted of three rounds followed by a knockout phase (semi-finals and final), but presents changes relative to the previous season. Nineteen teams competing in the 2015–16 LigaPro (reserve teams from Primeira Liga clubs are excluded) took part in the first round; one-legged ties were played between eighteen teams, with the nineteenth team receiving a bye to the next round.

In the second round, the ten teams advancing from the previous round (nine winners plus the team with a bye) were joined by the twelve teams placed 5th–16th in the 2014–15 Primeira Liga and by the two teams promoted to 2015–16 Primeira Liga. Again, one-legged ties were played between the twenty-four teams, with the winners advancing to the third round.

The third round featured the twelve winners of the previous round and the four best-placed teams in the 2014–15 Primeira Liga. The sixteen teams were drawn into four groups that were contested in a single round-robin format, with each team playing at least one game at home. The four group winners qualified for the semi-finals, which were played as single-legged ties. The final was played at a neutral venue.{{cite web|title=Regulamento das Competições organizadas pela Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional|trans-title=Regulations of the Competitions organized by the Portuguese Professional Football League|url=http://www.ligaportugal.pt/media/69725/regulamento-das-competicoes-2015-2016.pdf|publisher=LPFP|access-date=14 July 2015|language=pt|format=PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151124163747/http://www.ligaportugal.pt/media/69725/regulamento-das-competicoes-2015-2016.pdf|archive-date=2015-11-24|url-status=dead}}
