The 1988–89 Moroccan Throne Cup was a season of Morocco’s primary knockout football competition, the Coupe du Trône. The tournament traditionally involves clubs from various levels of the Moroccan football league system competing in single‑elimination matches, culminating in a final that determines the season’s champion.

- Seasonal timing: The tournament is usually played over the course of a single football season, with early rounds beginning in the latter half of one calendar year and the final taking place in the first half of the following year.
