The 2020 Pittsburgh Panthers men's soccer team represented University of Pittsburgh during the 2020 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The Panthers were led by head coach Jay Vidovich, in his fifth season. They played home games at Ambrose Urbanic Field. This was the team's 67th season playing organized men's college soccer and their 8th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The teams' 2020 season was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which curtailed the fall season and caused the NCAA Tournament to be played in spring 2021. The ACC was one of the only two conferences in men's soccer to play in the fall of 2020, during which conference competition was organized in North and South divisions followed by a conference tournament. The ACC also held a mini-season during the spring of 2021 which was organized according to the more typical Atlantic and Coastal divisions and was followed by a one game playoff between the division champions to determine who received the automatic bid to the NCAA touranment.

The Panthers finished the fall season 7–1–0 and 4–0–0 in ACC play to finish in first place in the North Region. In the ACC Tournament they defeated Duke in the Quarterfinals and Notre Dame in the Semifinals before losing to Clemson in the Final. They finished the spring season 6–1–0 and 5–1–0 in ACC play, to finish in first place in the Coastal Division. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament because they lost the automatic bid play-in game to Clemson. As the second seed in the tournament, they defeated Monmouth in the Second Round, UCF in the Third Round, and Washington in the Quarterfinals before losing to Indiana in the Semifinals to end their season.
