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]

Format

edit

In the competition, the top eleven teams from the 2020 Malaysia Super League were joined by the top five teams from the 2020 Malaysia Premier League. On 28 October 2020, Sabah FA has been excluded from the competition due to the failure to obtain the National Security Council's permission to leave the state of Sabah, which has been placed under a COVID-19 lockdown.

Recently, the Malaysian Football League (MFL) format for the 2020 Malaysia Cup has been changed following the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the country. Group stage competitions were cancelled and replaced with 16 teams by knockout, including matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.[4][5] This competition would feature a format change: the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final would be played in a single-leg format. The matches were played behind closed doors, though spectators could have been allowed following a review of the situation and the decisions of the national and local government.
