The competition began on 1 September 2019 with the first-round matches and was scheduled to conclude on 24 May 2020 with the final at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, between top-tier sides Benfica and Porto.

Porto beat Benfica 2–1 to win their 17th title in the competition and secure the club's eighth double.
