The 2016–17 Taça de Portugal is the 77th season of the Taça de Portugal, the premier knockout competition in Portuguese football. It is also known as Taça de Portugal Placard due to sponsorship by sports betting game Placard.[1]

The competition is contested by a total of 155 clubs, including teams from the top-three tiers of the Portuguese football league system[lower-alpha 1] and representatives of the fourth-tier District leagues and cups. It began with the first-round matches on 3 September 2016 and will conclude on 28 May 2017, with the final at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras.

The title holders are Braga, who won the competition for the second time after beating Porto in the previous final.

Format

As in the previous season, the competition format is organised in a knockout system consisting of seven rounds before the final match. The concept of repechage introduced in the previous edition was kept, meaning that teams eliminated in one round could still compete in later rounds, to provide an even number of teams necessary to avoid byes.

A total of 120 teams entered the tournament in the first round, 79 competing in the third-tier Campeonato de Portugal and 41 representatives from the District Football Associations. In the second round, the previous round winners will be joined by the 17 teams competing in the second-tier LigaPro. In the third round, the 18 top-tier Primeira Liga teams will enter the competition for the first time, playing against the 46 winners of the second round. In both second and third rounds, teams from higher tiers will play away against teams from lower tiers; after the third round, the draw will have no restrictions.

Unlike the earlier one-legged rounds, the semi-finals will be played as two-legged ties, with home and away matches. The final will be played as a one-off match at a neutral venue, traditionally the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras.
