2019–20 Coppa Italia

2019–20 Coppa Italia
The 2019–20 Coppa Italia (branded as the Coppa Italia Coca-Cola for sponsorship reasons during the final) was the 73rd edition of the national cup in Italian football.
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.
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.

Bracket
Round of 16
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
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.
Semi-finals
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.
