The 2020 Erovnuli Liga or Crystalbet Erovnuli Liga 2020 (formerly known as Umaglesi Liga) was the 32nd season of top-tier football in Georgia. Dinamo Tbilisi were the defending champions. The season began on 29 February 2020 and ended on 10 December 2020.[1][2] The league winner, Dinamo Tbilisi, earned a place in the UEFA Champions League and the second and third-placed clubs, Dinamo Batumi and Dila Gori respectively, earned a place in the new UEFA Europa Conference League.[3]

In March the season was suspended following a decision by the Georgian Football Federation due to COVID-19 pandemic, initially until 1 April,[4] but later the suspension was extended to late June.[5] Each team played 18 matches instead of the planned 36.
