It was played on 31 May 2015 at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, between Sporting CP and Braga. Sporting CP won 3–1 on penalties, following a 2–2 draw after extra-time, to claim their 16th title in the competition, and their first official trophy since the 2008 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. This was also the first time the Campeonato de Portugal/Taça de Portugal final was decided by a penalty shootout.

As the 2014–15 Taça de Portugal winners, Sporting CP earned the right to play in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League group stage.
