The following is a timeline of major events leading up, during, and after the 2020 United States presidential election, the 59th quadrennial United States presidential election.

Following Republican nominee Donald Trump's presumed electoral college victory in the United States presidential election of 2016, a group of computer scientists, cyber security experts, and election monitors raised concerns about the integrity of the election results. They urged the campaign staff of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who had conceded the campaign on November 9, to petition for a recount in three key states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. When the Clinton campaign declined to file for recounts, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein agreed to spearhead the recount effort on November 23, on the grounds that unspecified "anomalies" may have affected the election's outcome. The Clinton team subsequently pledged to support the recount efforts "in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides." President-elect Trump and his supporters filed legal motions in all three states to prevent the recounts. Two other states were the subject of recount bids that were separate from Stein's efforts in the Rust Belt states: American Delta Party/Reform Party presidential candidate Rocky De La Fuente filed for a partial recount in Nevada on November 30, and three Florida citizens filed for a complete hand recount in their state on December 6.

A public ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, January 20, 2021, on the West Front of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The event will be the 59th presidential inauguration.

After the 2020 United States presidential election, the campaign for incumbent president Donald Trump, and others on his behalf, filed a number of lawsuits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. Many cases were quickly dismissed; judges, lawyers, and other observers have described the suits as "frivolous" and "without merit". The lawsuits were considered unlikely to change the outcome of the election from the start. Trump, his supporters, and his attorneys falsely asserted widespread election fraud in public statements but few such assertions were made in court. By November 27, more than thirty of the legal challenges filed since Election Day had failed.
Before Election Day of the 2020 United States presidential election, lawsuits were filed in various states.
