The 2020 Austin Gilgronis season was the club's third season in Major League Rugby.[1] The 2020 season was the program's first season under the name Austin Gilgronis, having competed under the name Austin Elite for its first two season.[1][2][3] Brent Semmons was the coach of the club for the first year.[2] Zinzan Elan-Puttick was the captain the club for the first year as well. The season was later canceled in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

The Gilgronis played their home matchups at Bold Stadium in Austin, Texas for the first time since playing in Round Rock the past two seasons.[3] The program used an alternate stadium to host a game in San Antonio at Toyota Field.
