The 2020 Monaghan Senior Football Championship will be the 114th edition of Monaghan GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Monaghan, Ireland. Ten teams compete, with the winners not representing Monaghan in the AIB GAA Ulster Club Senior Football Championship due to the latter competition's cancellation. Generally, the championship uses a double-elimination format for Rounds 1 and 2 before becoming knock-out. However, for this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a round-robin system splitting the 10 senior clubs into two groups of five was used. ^[1]

Usually, relegation is based on a team's performance in the Senior Football League, but due to the cancellation of this year's league, a Relegation Final contested by the two bottom placed finishers in both groups was implemented. TBD were relegated to the 2021 I.F.C. after they lost the Relegation Final to ???. They'll be replaced by TBD, this year's I.F.C. Champions.

Team Changes

Prior to 2020, the two bottom-placed teams in the Monaghan Senior Football League are relegated to the Intermediate ranks for the following season, with the Intermediate Football Championship winners and Intermediate Football League winners promoted in their place.
