Football tournament season
The 2019–20 Coppa Italia (branded as the Coppa Italia Coca-Cola for sponsorship reasons during the final)[1] was the 73rd edition of the national cup in Italian football.[2]
Lazio were the defending champions having won their seventh title in May 2019 against Atalanta, but were eliminated by Napoli in the quarter-finals. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, both the second legs of the semi-finals and the final itself were postponed to June.[3][4]
Napoli won the competition by defeating Juventus 4–2 on penalties in the final after a goalless draw, winning their sixth title overall and first since 2014.[5]

Bracket[edit]
Round of 16[edit]
The Round of 16 matches were played between clubs seeded 1–8 in 2018–19 Serie A and clubs advancing from the fourth round. For teams meeting from the same division, home field advantage was determined by a draw, not seed number. This rule also applied in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, although in the semi-finals, the draw only determined the home team in the second leg.
The Round of 16 matches were played on 9, 14, 15, and 16 January.
Quarter-finals[edit]
The quarter-final matches were played on 21, 22, 28, and 29 January. The results of the draw that determined the home team were published on 10 December 2019.[6]
Semi-finals[edit]
The first legs of the semi-final matches were played on 12 and 13 February. The second leg matches were scheduled to be played on 4 and 5 March, but were postponed to 12 and 13 June due to the coronavirus pandemic in Italy.
