The 2021 Taça da Liga final was the final match of the 2020–21 Taça da Liga, the fourteenth season of the Taça da Liga. It was played on 23 January 2021 at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa.
The competition was contested exclusively by clubs competing in the two professional divisions of Portuguese football – the top-tier Primeira Liga and the second-tier Liga Portugal 2.
Braga were the holders and two-time winners, they played the decisive match for the 4th time and second consecutive season, having beaten Porto 1–0 in the previous season's final. Meanwhile, Sporting CP played their fifth final in the competition, having last appeared in the 2019 final when they defeated Porto on penalties for their second title. Sporting CP won the final 1–0 over Braga for their third title, as result, became the second team (after Benfica) in the competition's history to win three Taças da Liga.
Due to calendar limitations derived from the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal, this season followed a transitory format where only eight teams enter the competition.[2] The final was also held behind closed doors due to the effects of the pandemic in Portugal. The Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa in Leiria was chosen as the competition's final-four venue until 2023.[3]
