The 2020 Richmond Kickers season was the club's 28th season of existence, their 16th season in the third tier of American soccer, and their second season in the newly created USL League One. It is the Kickers' second season playing in the third tier of American soccer since 2016, when they were in the United Soccer League. Initially, the preseason began on February 8, 2020 and was scheduled to conclude on March 24, 2020. The regular season was originally scheduled to begin on March 28, 2020 and conclude on September 24, 2020.

On March 13, 2020, it was announced that the regular season would be delayed for at least two weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The regular season was slated to begin on March 28, 2020 but was delayed to April 11, 2020, before being indefinitely postponed. The season began with a truncated 16-match season (instead of 28) beginning on July 25, 2020 and concluded on October 24, 2020 (a month later than originally planned).

The 2020 season saw the club return to a winning record for the first time since 2016. Additionally, the club's 4th-place finish was the Kickers' best regular season performance since 2014. Despite the record, the club on the final day of the season failed to reach the USL Championship Game after losing at home to Chattanooga. Striker, Emiliano Terzaghi, scored 10 goals during the season, which was the best performance by a striker for the Kickers since Yudai Imura in 2016. Terzaghi had a 0.63 goals per game average, which was the best performance by a striker for Richmond since Robert Ssejjemba in 2006.
