The 2020 Copa Paraguay will be the third edition of the Copa Paraguay, Paraguay's domestic football cup competition. The competition was originally scheduled to start on 14 April 2020 and conclude in late 2020, with the winners qualifying for the 2021 Copa Sudamericana as well as the 2020 Supercopa Paraguay against the Primera División champions with better record in the aggregate table.[1] Libertad will be the defending champions.

The competition was suspended indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 9 July 2020, Paraguayan Football Association's Chief of Competitions Michael Sánchez stated that it would be postponed to 2021 with the same qualified teams given the unavailability of stadiums in the departments of Paraguay as well as the lack of dates to reschedule the competition in the remainder of 2020. As a result, the berth to the 2021 Copa Sudamericana would be passed to the best team in the Primera División season that failed to qualify for international competition.[2] The decision to suspend the competition was confirmed by the APF on 11 September 2020.[3]

Format

64 teams will take part, with the competition keeping the same format used in the previous edition.[4] The competition is played as a single-elimination tournament, with all teams directly qualifying for the first round, where they were drawn into 32 single-legged ties. Ties in all rounds will be played as a single game, with a penalty shootout deciding the winner in case of a draw.

Teams

64 teams will compete in this edition of the competition: the 12 Primera División and 16 División Intermedia teams, as well as 11 from the Primera B, 8 from the Primera C, and the 17 champions from each department of Paraguay representing the UFI.
