The 2007–08 Ligakupa was the first edition of the Hungarian League Cup, the Ligakupa.
The competition was won by autumn season winner's Fehérvár, defeating the spring season winner's Debrecen with an aggregate result of 3–0 in the final. The winner qualify for the 2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup.[1] The Székesfehérvár club later withdrew from the European club competition and the right to play was passed to Budapest Honvéd.[2]
Match times up to 28 October 2007 and from 30 March 2008 were CEST (UTC+2). Times on interim ("winter") days were CET (UTC+1).
The newly created competition started with the 16 top tier teams first, grouping them by regional considerations. The top two finishers from each group will advance to the quarter-finals, which will be played on a back-and-forth basis after a draw. The semi-finals and final of the autumn season will also be two-legged. The series will be repeated in the spring after a new draw. Finally, the autumn and spring winners will face each other - twice - to decide the League Cup winners. If the same team wins in both the autumn and spring season, a friendly against the Hungarian national football team will be held instead of the Grand final.[3]
