# 2020–21 Slovak Cup

The 2020–21 Slovak Cup was the 52nd edition of the competition. The tournament began on 25 July 2020 and the final was played on 19 May 2021.
Slovan Bratislava were the defending champions, defeating Ružomberok in the 2020 final.
Slovan won a second consecutive title, defeating Žilina in the final.
The winner of the Slovak Cup earned automatic qualification for the second qualifying round in UEFA Europa Conference League. As Slovan had already qualified for the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League as league champion, the spot was decided by the Europa Conference League play-offs, which was eventually won by Žilina.

## Format

The Cup was played as a knockout tournament contested by 229 teams - one more than the previous edition. Teams (excluding 'B' teams) from the top five levels played along with two winners of regional cups. All ties are decided on the day with penalty shoot-outs used to decide drawn matches. All rounds are played as one-off matches except the semi-finals which are played over two legs.

## Prize money

In this season, the fixed amount of prize money paid to the clubs is as follows:
* Winning the final: €50,000
* Losing finalist: €20,000
* Semi-finals: €5,000
The most successful club from the regional football associations will receive a financial reward of €3,000 if they end before semifinal. Teams that participate in the 1st and 2nd round will receive match balls (for home club five and for away club three).

## First round

101 matches in the first round were played from July 25, 2020, to August 5, 2020. The first round is regional, which means that, only teams from one region meet each other. Matches of the first round drew the divisional football associations. If the score is still level after ninety minutes, a team advancing to next round will be reached by penalty shoutout.
