The 2019–20 Coupe de la Ligue, also known as Coupe de la Ligue BKT for sponsorship reasons, was the 26th and final edition of the league cup competition held in France. The competition began with the preliminary round on 26 July 2019.^[1]

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]
