The 2023 Taça da Liga final was the final match of the 2022–23 Taça da Liga, the sixteenth season of the Taça da Liga. It was played on 28 January 2023 at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa.

The competition involved the 34 clubs playing in the top two tiers of the Portuguese football league system – 18 from Primeira Liga and 16 from Liga Portugal 2 – during the 2022–23 season. Reserve sides of Primeira Liga teams that played in the 2020–21 Liga Portugal 2 were excluded from the competition. The competition format suffered changes in which all teams entered the competition in a single group stage, with matches beginning on 17 November 2022 and played during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Sporting CP were the holders and four-time winners, after defeating Benfica 2–1 in the 2022 final.[1] They reached their third consecutive final but were defeated 2–0 by Porto, who secured their first title in the competition after losing four previous finals in 2010, 2013, 2019 and 2020.[2][3]
