The 2019–20 Lebanese FA Cup was intended to be the 48th edition of the national football cup competition of Lebanon. It started with the First round on 12 October 2019.[1][2] Lebanese Premier League side Ahed were the defending champions.

The Lebanese Football Association suspended all competitions on 21 January 2020 due to the political and financial situation in Lebanon; this resulted in the indefinite suspension of all football matches in Lebanon.[3] With the COVID-19 pandemic also stopping sporting activities nationwide, the 2019–20 season was officially cancelled on 28 May 2020.[4]
