Johor Darul Ta'zim is the current holders of the Malaysia Cup having defeated Kedah in the final last year and will now start the defence of their cup a week later than scheduled.
This comes after Malaysian Football League (MFL) announced that the first match will begin on 25 October rather than 16 October it had planned when football was given the go-ahead for resumption.
Because of Covid-19, MFL had already made one big change to the competition, doing away with the group stages and making it a direct knockout between 16 teams who qualified for the Malaysia Cup.
