Ajax were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by FC Utrecht.

The finalists were set to be Feyenoord and Utrecht but on 24 April 2020, the KNVB Cup was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. The winners were planned to participate in the 2020 Johan Cruyff Shield against the 2019–20 Eredivisie champions, but due to both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup being abandoned, the Johan Cruyff Shield was cancelled as well.
