Group stage

The draw for the group stage was held on 22 July 2019 at the Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC) in Petaling Jaya. The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles (introduced starting this season):

  • Pot 1, 2 and 3 contained the 11 top teams from 2019 Super League, seeded based on their final standings or end placements in the league.
  • Pot 3 and 4 contained the 5 top teams from 2019 Premier League, seeded based on their final standings or end placements in the league.

In each group, teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners and runners-up advanced to the quarter-finals. The matchdays were 2–4 August, 7–8 August, 16–18 August, 20–21 & 23–25 August, 13–14 September, and 17–18 & 22 September 2019.

Knockout stage

In the knockout stage, teams played against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the draw for the quarter final, the fourth group winners were seeded, and the fourth group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other.
