Boavista were the previous holders, having defeated Benfica 3–2 in the previous season's final.[3] Defending champions Boavista were eliminated in the quarter-finals by second division side União de Leiria.[4] Porto defeated Braga, 3–1 in the final to win their ninth Taça de Portugal.[5] As a result of Porto winning both the league and cup in the same season, cup finalists Braga would play the Dragões in the 1998 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[6][7]

Ties were played on the 16 November–17 December, whilst replays were played between the 3–28 December.[8][9]

Ties were played between the 28 December to the 14 January.[10][11] Due to the odd number of teams involved at this stage of the competition, União de Leiria qualified for the quarter-finals due to having no opponent to face at this stage of the competition.

Ties were played on the 4 February, whilst replays were played between the 11–17 February.[12][13]

Ties were played on the 24 February.[14][15]
