The 2019–20 Belgian Cup, called the Croky Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 65th season of Belgium's annual football cup competition. The competition began on 26 July 2019 and ended with the final on 1 August 2020. The winners of the competition qualified for the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League Group Stage. KV Mechelen were the defending champions, but were unable to defend their title as the club got banned from the competition for one season after being found guilty of match-fixing as part of the 2017–19 Belgian football fraud scandal.
The competition consisted of ten rounds. Except for the semi-finals, all rounds were single-match elimination rounds. When tied after 90 minutes in the first three rounds, penalties were taken immediately. In rounds four to seven and the quarterfinals, when tied after 90 minutes first an extra time period of 30 minutes were played, then penalties were taken if still necessary. The semi-finals were played over two legs, where the team winning on aggregate advanced. The final was played as a single match.
Teams entered the competition in different rounds, based upon their 2019–20 league affiliation. Teams from the fifth-level Belgian Third Amateur Division or lower began in round 1. Belgian Second Amateur Division teams entered in round 2, Belgian First Amateur Division teams entered in round 3, Belgian First Division B teams in round 5 and finally the Belgian First Division A teams entered in round 6. With KV Mechelen being banned from the competition, one of the Belgian First Division B teams (Union SG) was drawn randomly to receive a bye in round 5 and progressed automatically to round 6.
