The 2020 LCS season was the eighth season of the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), a professional esports league for the video game League of Legends. The season was divided into two splits: Spring and Summer. The Spring Split began on January 25 and culminated playoff finals on April 19, 2020. The Summer Split began on June 12 and culminated with the Spring Split finals on September 6, 2020. Most matches were played online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cloud9 won the spring split playoffs, qualifying them for the 2020 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). However, the MSI was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the summer split playoffs, Team SoloMid, FlyQuest, and Team Liquid claimed the first, second, and third positions, respectively, earning qualifications to the 2020 World Championship.
