Strasbourg were the defending champions after defeating Guingamp in the final of the previous edition,[2] but were eliminated in the quarter-finals in a penalty shoot-out to Reims after a goalless draw.[3]

On 18 September 2019, the Ligue de Football Professionnel voted to suspend the competition indefinitely following the 2019–20 edition, in order to "reduce the season schedule".[4]

On 28 April 2020, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced all sporting events in France would be cancelled until September.[5] On 26 June, the FFF announced that the final was rescheduled to 31 July.[6]

Paris Saint-Germain won their ninth Coupe de la Ligue title following a 6–5 win on penalties over Lyon in the final.[7]
