The 2026 Women's Portuguese Cup final will mark an unprecedented moment in Portuguese football, as the senior teams of Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Futebol Clube do Porto face each other in a final for the first time. The match, scheduled for the Estádio Nacional do Jamor on May 17, represents not only the awarding of a trophy but also a symbolic milestone in the sport's evolution, bringing one of the biggest rivalries in the national sporting landscape to women's football. Benfica enters as the clear favourite, boasting five league titles and consistent dominance since 2018, while FC Porto, having only established its senior women's team in the 2024/25 season, arrives as the surprise package of the tournament. The match serves as the first major official duel between the two clubs in women's football.
