Ronnie O'Sullivan started the season as the highest ranked player, but was replaced by Judd Trump after the second revision.

The sport of professional snooker has had a world ranking system in place since 1976. [1] Certain tournaments were given "ranking" status, with the results at those events contributing to a player's world ranking. The events that made up the 1976–77 snooker season were the first to award players with ranking points. [1] Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added. [1] The system used for the 2019–20 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players won ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events. [2] The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with ten revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season. [3] These revisions are used as official rankings, with points awarded in the current season overwriting those from two years prior. [2]

Ronnie O'Sullivan began the season as the highest ranked player; however, Judd Trump became world number one after winning the 2019 International Championship. [4] Trump retained the position until the end of the season, where he had a lead of over 500,000 points, despite O'Sullivan winning 500,000 points at the 2020 World Snooker Championship. [5] During the season, Trump took a record number of ranking events, winning six. [6]
