The 2020 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 71st in the National Football League (NFL), their 75th overall, and their fourth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. The 49ers entered the season as the defending NFC champions; however, the 49ers failed to improve on their 13–3 season after a Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and were eliminated from playoff contention after a Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.[1]
The season saw many key players missing significant time due to injuries, including starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, starting tight-end George Kittle, starting cornerback Richard Sherman, starting wide receiver Deebo Samuel, and 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year Nick Bosa.[2] The 49ers season ended with a league-high 18 players on injured reserve. Another notable event was the suspension of home games in Santa Clara County due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the 49ers to play their final three home games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
As of 2023, this is the last time the 49ers failed to qualify for the playoffs.
