The 2007–08 edition of the Taça da Liga was the first edition of the League Cup of Portugal, called the Carlsberg Cup due to sponsorship reasons.
For the first round (4 and 5 August), only the Liga de Honra teams competed. In the second round (12 August), Portuguese Liga teams entered. The competition was won by Vitória de Setúbal, who beat Sporting Clube de Portugal 3 – 2 in the penalty shootout after a goalless draw at the Estádio Algarve, Faro.
