Fourth round[edit]

The draw for the Fourth Round to the final was held on 16 August 2019.^[5] There was no seeding in the draw, however, the draw took into consideration the teams whose home or away in the round of 16 were predetermined:^[6]

Kashima Antlers and Urawa Red Diamonds, who were to play the round of 16 home due to the participations in 2019 AFC Champions League quarter-finals, could not be drawn in the same tie.
Yokohama F. Marinos, Honda FC and Hosei University, who were to play the round of 16 away since they could not provide stadiums on the designated match day, could not be drawn in the same tie each other.

The round of 16 matches were played on 18 September 2019, except for the matches involving Kashima Antlers and Urawa Red Diamonds, which were delayed as they were playing in the second leg of the 2019 AFC Champions League quarter-finals.
