The 2008 Ligakupa final, also referred to as the Grand final, was the final of the inaugural Ligakupa, Hungary's League Cup. It was contested between Fehérvár, the winners of the autumn season, and Debrecen, the winners of the spring season. Because the two seasonal competitions were won by different clubs, a Grand final was required to determine the overall Ligakupa champion.[1]

The final was played over two legs. The first leg took place on 14 May 2008 in Székesfehérvár, where Fehérvár defeated Debrecen 1–0 through a goal by Jusuf Dajić.[2] The second leg was played on 20 May in Debrecen, where Fehérvár won 2–0 with goals from Tamás Sifter and Illés Zsolt Sitku. Fehérvár therefore won the final 3–0 on aggregate, becoming the first Ligakupa champions.[3]
