The eventual champions, IFK Göteborg, secured a place in the second qualifying round of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League.
A total of 96 clubs entered the competition, 64 teams from district sites and 32 from the Allsvenskan and the Superettan.
On 18 June 2020, following the UEFA's publication of its intended dates for the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League (for which the winner of the Svenska Cupen qualifies) on 17 June 2020, the Swedish football association announced that the 2019–20 Svenska Cupen would resume play, with quarterfinals played on 25 June 2020, semi-finals on 9 July 2020 and the final on 30 July 2020.
All remaining games were to be played without any attendance and with the additional rules adopted by the Swedish football association following the pandemic, which included inter alia that all teams are allowed to make five substitutions during one game.
64 teams from the third tier or lower of the Swedish league system competed in this round.
