Rennes were the defending champions, but they were eliminated by Saint-Étienne in the semi-finals.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France, on 28 April 2020, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced all sporting events in France, including those behind closed doors, would be banned until September. The FFF were considering whether the final of the Coupe de France could be rescheduled for when events are allowed to restart. On 26 June, the FFF announced that the final was rescheduled to 24 July.

Paris Saint-Germain won their record 13th title overall with a 1–0 win over Saint-Étienne in the final.
