Seedings and format

In the 2000–01 season, Coppa Italia featured 48 teams competing: all 18 clubs from Serie A, all 20 clubs from Serie B, the 4 clubs relegated from Serie B in the 1999–00 season, the 4 playoff runners-up from the 1999–00 Serie C1 season, and the 2 finalists of the 1999–00 Serie C Coppa Italia competition.

The format for pairings were:

• Group Stage: one-leg fixtures
  • First round: The 32 non-seeded clubs were divided into 8 groups of 4 teams each. Each team played the other three from its group once and the top team from each group advanced to the second round.
    • Points were awarded as 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for loss. In the event of a tie at the conclusion of this stage, the group goes to the team with the best goal difference in the match, otherwise the best overall goal difference.
• Knockout Rounds: two-leg fixtures
  • Second round: Clubs 9–14 from Serie A and the top two clubs from Serie B were paired against the 8 advancing teams from the group stage.
  • Round of 16: Teams 1–8 from Serie A were paired against the 8 winners of the second round
