On 12 November 2020, Malaysian Football League (MFL) confirmed that the tournament would not resume and be cancelled immediately.

In the competition, the top eleven teams from the2020 Malaysia Super League were joined by the top five teams from the2020 Malaysia Premier League.

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 playedbehind closed doors, though spectators could have been allowed following a review of the situation and the decisions of the national and local government.
