The 2016–17 Taça da Liga was the tenth edition of the Taça da Liga, a football cup competition organized by the Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP) and contested exclusively by clubs competing in the top two professional tiers of Portuguese football. The competition was sponsored by CTT and, therefore, was known as Taça CTT for a second season.{{cite news|title=CTT são "naming" sponsor da Taça da Liga|trans-title=CTT are the naming sponsor of the Taça da Liga|url=http://www.ligaportugal.pt/noticias/taca-ctt-apresentada-hoje/|access-date=22 July 2015|publisher=Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP)|date=15 July 2015|language=pt}}{{cite news|title=CTT apostam no futebol como eixo estratégico de comunicação|trans-title=CTT bet in football as a strategic axis of communication|url=http://www.ctt.pt/ctt-e-investidores/comunicacao-e-patrocinios/media/noticias/ctt-apostam-no-futebol-como-eixo-estrategico-de-comunicacao|access-date=22 July 2015|publisher=CTT|date=15 July 2015|language=pt}}

A total of 35 teams contested the tournament, including 18 teams from the 2016–17 Primeira Liga and 17 non-reserve teams from the 2016–17 LigaPro. The competition format suffered changes for the second consecutive year, with the number of teams being reduced and the semi-finals being played on the same week of the final, in late January.

Benfica were the three-time defending holders but failed to defend their title, losing to Moreirense in the semi-finals. This result marked Benfica's first defeat in the competition since 31 October 2007 and put an end to a 42-game unbeaten run. Moreirense beat Braga 1–0 to win their first domestic cup in their first ever appearance in a cup final.

Format

On 19 June 2015, the LPFP announced that the number of teams in the 2016–17 LigaPro season would be reduced to 22, thus reducing the number of teams that would play in the Taça da Liga from 37 to 35.{{cite news|url=http://www.record.xl.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/2--liga/detalhe/cinco-equipas-descem-em-201516-na-2-liga-956457.html|title=Cinco equipas descem em 2015/16 na 2.ª Liga|trans-title=Cinco teams are relegated from the Segunda Liga in 2015/16|newspaper=Record|language=pt|date=19 June 2015|access-date=23 June 2015}}

On 28 June 2016, the LPFP approved some changes in relation to the semi-finals matches. Both the semi-finals and final match will be played in the same week, and on the same stadium.{{cite news|url=http://www.record.xl.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/detalhe/taca-ctt-com-final-four.html

Seventeen teams competing in the 2016–17 LigaPro (reserve teams from Primeira Liga clubs are excluded) took part in the first round; one-legged ties were played between sixteen teams, with the seventeenth team receiving a bye to the next round.

In the second round, the nine teams advancing from the previous round (eight winners plus the team with a bye) were joined by the twelve teams placed 5th–16th in the 2015–16 Primeira Liga and by the two teams promoted to 2016–17 Primeira Liga. Again, one-legged ties were played between 22 teams, with the 23rd team receiving a bye to the next round.

The third round featured the twelve teams advancing from the previous round (eleven winners plus the team with a bye) and the four best-placed teams in the 2015–16 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 semi-finals and final were 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/102397/regulamento-das-competicoes-2016-2017.pdf|publisher=LPFP|access-date=15 July 2016|language=pt|format=PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160803114104/http://www.ligaportugal.pt/media/102397/regulamento-das-competicoes-2016-2017.pdf|archive-date=3 August 2016|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}

In the third round, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are tied on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:

highest goal difference in all group matches;
highest number of scored goals in all group matches;
lowest average age of all players fielded in all group matches (sum of the ages of all fielded players divided by the number of fielded players).

In all other rounds, teams tied at the end of regular time contest a penalty shootout to determine the winner.

Teams

Thirty-five teams competing in the two professional tiers of Portuguese football for the 2016–17 season are eligible to participate in this competition. For Primeira Liga teams, the final league position in the previous season determined in which round they enter the competition.
