The 2020 Copa de la Liga Profesional (officially Copa Diego Armando Maradona) was the first edition of the Copa de la Liga Profesional, an Argentine domestic cup contested by the 24 teams that took part in the Primera División during the 2019–20 season. The tournament was named after Diego Maradona. The competition started on 30 October 2020 and ended on 31 March 2021.
The competition was planned and organised by the "Liga Profesional de Fútbol", a body linked to the Argentine Football Association (AFA) that replaced the defunct Superliga Argentina. This cup was conceived as a contingency competition after the schedule for a regular league season had been repeatedly delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Boca Juniors and Banfield advanced to the Fase Campeón Final. Boca Juniors won the Final via a penalty shoot-out after the game had finished 1–1 and were crowned as champions of the cup. As Boca Juniors had already qualified for the 2021 Copa Libertadores, San Lorenzo (best team of the 2019–20 Superliga Argentina and 2020 Copa de la Superliga aggregate table not yet qualified) gained the 2021 Copa Libertadores berth.
Format
For the group stage, the 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four teams each, playing on a double round-robin basis. In each zone, the top two teams advanced to the "Fase Campeón" while the bottom two teams advanced to the "Fase Complementación".
In the Fase Campeón, the 12 qualified teams were split into two groups of six teams each, where they played a single round-robin tournament. The winners of each group played the final match at a neutral venue. The winners of the Fase Campeón final were crowned champions of the cup and qualified for the 2021 Copa Libertadores.
On the other hand, teams in Fase Complementación played under the same format as in the Fase Campeón. The winners of the Fase Complementación final played a match against the Fase Campeón runners-up with the winners qualifying for the 2022 Copa Sudamericana.
Draws
The draw for the group stage was held on 16 October 2020, 14:00, at Complejo Habitacional de Ezeiza in Ezeiza. The 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four containing one team from each of the four pots.
The draws for the Fase Campeón and the Fase Complementación were held on 7 December 2020, 21:30, at Complejo Habitacional de Ezeiza in Ezeiza. For the Fase Campeón, the winners and runners-up of each zone were allocated to Pot 3 and Pot 4, respectively. Likewise, for the Fase Complementación, the third-placed teams and fourth-placed teams of each zone were allocated to Pot 1 and Pot 2, respectively.
For each stage, the 12 qualified teams were drawn into two groups of six containing three teams from each of the two pots. Teams from the same zone could not be drawn into the same group.
