The competition began on 9 September 2022 with the first-round matches involving teams from the third, fourth and fifth tiers, and concluded on 4 June 2023 with the final at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras. Primeira Liga side Porto were the defending champions after defeating Tondela 3–1 in the 2022 final, and successfully defended their title after a 2–0 win over Braga in the 2023 final.

As Porto secured qualification to the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League by league ranking, the cup winner's place in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League was thus transferred to the league's fourth-placed team, Sporting CP. Consequently, the league's fifth- and sixth-placed teams, Arouca and Vitória de Guimarães, qualified instead for the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League third and second qualifying rounds, respectively. As winners, Porto will also play in the 2023 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira against the 2022–23 Primeira Liga winners, Benfica.
