The 2020 season in Football Victoria refers to the competitions contested under the organisation of Football Victoria in 2020.

All NPL and grassroots competitions were suspended due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, effective 18 March,[1] and were further extended.[2][3] The season was only able to restart in a limited way for juniors in regional areas from September 24, whereas no football activities were able to take place in Metropolitan Melbourne.[4] Preliminary plans for the resumption of competitions for the 2021 season were released in October 2020, confirming that the current season had effectively ended.[5]
