The 2020 Scottish Women's Premier League 2 was due to be the fifth season of the SWPL 2 as the second-highest division of women's football in Scotland, below SWPL 1 and above the newly introduced SWF Championship.

Heart of Midlothian had finished as winners of the 2019 SWPL 2 and were promoted to SWPL 1, with Stirling University coming in the opposite direction. Aberdeen, Queen's Park and Boroughmuir Thistle joined the SWPL 2 as the promoted clubs from the SWFL, whilst no teams had been relegated as the league was expanded from eight teams to ten. ^[1]

The season started on 21 February 2020 and was scheduled to end in November 2020, ^[2] but was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. In July 2020, the 2020 season was declared null and void. ^[3] A new season began October 2020 and concluded in July 2021, with the league reverting to a winter season format.
