The 2020 Malaysia Cup (Malay: Piala Malaysia 2020) was the 94th edition of Malaysia Cup tournament organised by Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and Malaysian Football League (MFL). Winners would qualify directly to 2021 AFC Cup group stage. Since the tournament had been cancelled, the spot was passed down to the third-placed team in the League.[1]

On 12 November 2020, Malaysian Football League (MFL) confirmed that the tournament would not resume and be cancelled immediately. That mean's closes the season for Malaysian football in 2020 following government's rejection of MFL's appeal, including with large parts of the country in Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) due to COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.[1][2][3]
