Ullevaal Stadion, Oslo - venue for the Norwegian Cup final

The 2020 Norwegian Football Cup was set to be the 115th season of the Norwegian annual knock-out football tournament. It was going to start with qualification matches in March and April 2020. The first round was scheduled to be played on 22 April 2020 and the tournament was suppose conclude with the final being held on 25 October 2020.

A change to the schedule ahead of the 2020 season means that the Cup final will be played several rounds before the league finishes, rather than the week after it finishes, to avoid having the final in December.[1]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the start was postponed, and later the tournament was cancelled due to there not being enough time to play it during the 2020 season. [2]
