The 2020–21 Nedbank Cup is the 2020–21 edition of
South Africa's premier knockout club
football (soccer) competition, the
Nedbank Cup.
As a result of the suspension of amateur football due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, unlike in previous years, no amateur teams took part. Instead, all 16
Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs and all 16
National First Division (NFD) teams entered the main draw of 32 teams, in spite of eight NFD teams losing their earlier first round matches.
Teams are not seeded, and the first sides drawn receive home-ground advantage. There are no replays in the tournament, and any games which end in a draw after 90 minutes are subject to 30 minutes extra time followed by penalties if necessary.
First Round
As the amateur teams which normally enter in the Second Round were unable to take part due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the
Premier Soccer League decided in January 2021 to restore the eight losing teams from the First Round and include them in the draw for the Second Round. Hence no teams were eliminated in this round and all progressed.
