2019–20 Albanian Cup (Template:Country data Kupa e Shqipërisë) is the sixty-eighth season of Albania's annual cup competition. Kukësi are the defending champions.[1] Teuta won the cup for the fourth time in their history.
Format
Ties are played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregate score is tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advances. If the number of away goals is equal in both games, the match is decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out, if necessary.[2]
Preliminary round
In order to reduce the number of participating teams for the First Round to 32, a preliminary tournament is played. In contrast to the main tournament, the preliminary tournament is held as a single-leg knock-out competition. Matches were played on 4 September 2019.
