2020 State Cup
Main article: Football West State Cup

Western Australian soccer clubs commenced the State Cup competition in February, only to see it suspended due to the impacts from the pandemic.[1] The competition also functioned as the Western Australian Preliminary Rounds for the 2020 FFA Cup. At the time of suspension, only the first two rounds had been played, involving teams from various divisions of the Amateur League and Metropolitan League competitions, and from regional teams from the Goldfields, South West and Great Southern regions.

With the return to competitions in June, there was a decision by Football West not to proceed with cup competitions in general.[4]
