The 2020 Houston Outlaws season is the third season of the Houston Outlaws's existence in the Overwatch League (OWL). The Outlaws planned to host two homestand weekends at the Revention Music Center in Houston's downtown Theater District.[1] While their first homestand took place, all other homestand matches were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Outlaws failed to make it past the quarterfinals in each of the three midseason tournaments of the season.[2][3][4] Houston ended the season with a 6–15 record and were eliminated from postseason contention on September 3 after a 1–3 to the Boston Uprising in the North America play-ins tournament.[5]
