The 2020 DFL-Supercup was the eleventh edition of the German super cup under the name DFL-Supercup, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal competitions. The match was played on 30 September 2020.[3] The match is usually played in July or August prior to the start of the Bundesliga. However, due to postponement of the 2019–20 Bundesliga as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the 2020–21 season was delayed until September 2020.[4] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the match was played behind closed doors.[5]

The match featured Bayern Munich, the champions of the 2019–20 Bundesliga and winners of the 2019–20 DFB-Pokal (completing a domestic double), and Borussia Dortmund, the runners-up of the Bundesliga and holders of the DFL-Supercup. The match was hosted by Bayern at the Allianz Arena in Munich.[6] In a change of format, the Bundesliga champions hosted the DFL-Supercup, having previously been hosted by the winners of the DFB-Pokal, or the runners-up of the Bundesliga in the case of a team completing the double.

Bayern Munich won the match 3–2 for their eighth Supercup title. For the first time ever, a female referee was selected to officiate the match: German referee Bibiana Steinhaus, who directed the last match of her career.[7][2]
