I won't be able to come today vs I won't be able to go today

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I won't be able to come today' is used when the speaker is referring to a location where they are expected to be. 'I won't be able to go today' is used when the speaker is referring to a location they need to reach. The choice between 'come' and 'go' depends on the perspective of the speaker/writer in relation to the location.
