The 2020 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup is the 18th edition of the Scottish Women's Premier League's league cup competition, which began in 2002.[1] It is sponsored by the Scottish Building Society and is officially known as the Scottish Building Society Scottish Women's Premier League Cup. The competition is contested by all 18 teams of the two divisions of the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL 1 and SWPL 2).
In a change to the format, the first and second teams in the 2019 Scottish Women's Premier League received a bye to the quarter-finals. The remaining teams in SWPL1 and SWPL2 are divided into four groups of four teams. The group winners along with the two runners-up with the best record will advance to the quarter-finals. The two other runners-up along with the teams who finish third and the two fourth-placed teams with the best record will compete in the plate competition.[2]
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scottish FA banned the traditional practice of shaking hands between opponents and the match officials in a bid to help contain the virus.[3]
