The 2020 USL Championship season was the tenth season of the USL Championship and fourth under Division II sanctioning. This was the second season under the name "USL Championship", having used the name "United Soccer League" through 2018. Real Monarchs were the defending USL Cup champions. The 2020 season saw 35 teams participate in two conferences during the regular season.

On November 8, 2019, Ottawa Fury FC announced that it had suspended operations. The team had received sanctioning from its country's governing body, Canada Soccer, but was denied by U.S. Soccer and the continental governing body of CONCACAF. ^[1] Additionally, the 2020 season is the first season without Nashville SC. The club's identity transferred to a Major League Soccer team that started play in 2020. ^[2]

The season was suspended on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America. ^[3] On June 4, the league announced a return to play on July 11, 2020. ^[4]

The playoffs began on October 10, and originally scheduled to conclude with the USL Championship Final on November 1. The Final was then cancelled the day before because several Tampa Bay Rowdies players and staff tested positive for COVID-19. The championship would not be awarded. ^[5]

Real Monarchs were the defending USL Championship champions, but failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Competition format

The original divisional alignment was announced on December 19, 2019. ^{[11] [12] [13]} The regular season and playoff format was announced on January 9, 2020. The season began on March 6 and was scheduled to conclude on October 17. The 2020 USL Cup Playoffs were expected to begin October 21, and conclude with the final match between November 12–16. The top 10 teams were to make the playoffs in each conference with the same format as in 2019. ^[14]

Group alignment for resumption of play

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a radical remaking of the competition for 2020. When the season resumed on July 11, the teams were competing in small groups of four or five teams with a geographic component, with the top two teams in each group qualifying for the postseason. ^{[15] [16]}

USL Championship Final

The Final was cancelled the day before because several Tampa Bay players and staff tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Phoenix Rising and Tampa Bay were recognized as conference champions, and the final was not played. ^[42] League officials considered postponing the game, but this would have required quarantining both teams and giving them time for renewed training. The prospect of waiting three to four weeks to play led league officials to simply cancel the game. ^[43] They also considered awarding Rising the title since it had more points than Tampa Bay, but balked at doing so because Rising earned three points by forfeit after San Diego Loyal walked off the field in protest after Rising's Junior Flemmings directed a homophobic slur at Loyal's Collin Martin. ^[44]

Note: Phoenix relinquished the right to host the final as a gesture of respect to the LGBTQ community for the incident between Phoenix Rising and San Diego Loyal on September 30. [45]
