As the LFP voted in September 2019 to abolish the Coupe de la Ligue for the following season, the match was the last in the competition's history.[4]

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

Paris Saint-Germain won the final 6–5 on penalties over Lyon, following a 0–0 draw after extra time, for their ninth Coupe de la Ligue title.[7]
