The 2020 Taça da Liga final was the final match of the 2019–20 Taça da Liga, the thirteenth season of the Taça da Liga. It was played on 25 January 2020 at Estádio Municipal de Braga.

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 LigaPro – during the 2019–20 season. Reserve sides of Primeira Liga teams that played in the 2018–19 LigaPro were excluded from the competition.

Braga and Porto faced off for the second time in a rematch of the 2013 final.[1] In the final, Braga defeated Porto 1–0 to earn its second title in their third final. Braga became the third team (after Benfica and Sporting CP) in the competition's history to win multiple Taças da Liga.[2] Porto lost their fourth consecutive league cup final, after appearances in the 2010, 2013, and 2019 finals.
