The 2019–20 Greek Football Cup is the 78th season of the Greek Football Cup. A total of 84 clubs are accepted to enter. 14 from the Super League 1 (1st tier), 12 from the Super League 2 (2nd tier), 14 from the Football League (3rd tier) and 44 previous season local Cup winners. The Second Leg Semi-Final matches and the Final were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece until June.
The Final was originally scheduled for 26 July and was postponed to 30 August because of Olympiacos' pressure in HFF to change the stadium from Georgios Kamaras Stadium to Olympic Stadium and after the no of the Hellenic Police in the first stadium. The Final was rescheduled for 30 August in the Olympic Stadium but it was postponed again because Olympiacos' player Maximiliano Lovera was tested positive for COVID-19. The Final was rescheduled again for 12 September at Panthessaliko Stadium in Volos.

Perspective
First round
The draw for this round took place on 9 August 2019.[1] The majority of fixtures were held on 24, 25 and 28 August 2019.[2]
Two of the fixtures, Kalamata–Atromitos Patras and Enosis Vathyllos-Pansamiakos–Aiolikos were postponed in light the bids of Kalamata and Aiolikos to enter the Football League.[2] Kalamata were eventually greenlighted to play in the Football League by decision of the HFF, taking the place of Nestos Chrysoupoli, who withdrew their participation.[3] As such, despite being drawn against Atromitos Patras, they advanced to the Third Round draw on walkover. Likewise, Atromitos advanced to the next round on walkover.

Knockout phase
Summarize
Perspective
Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which were played as a single match, if the score was level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score was still level.
The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
- In the draw for the Round of 16, the five Super League clubs finishing in places 1–5 in the previous season are seeded, while the clubs advancing from the Fifth Round are unseeded.
The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. The remaining 6 unseeded clubs will be drawn against one another with the team being drawn last hosting the second leg. - In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.
