The following is a summary of Tipperary county football team's 2020 season. David Power was in his first year as manager. The season was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The season resumed in mid-October of the same year.[2]

On 22 November 2020, Tipperary won the Munster Senior Football Championship after a 0–17 to 0–14 win against Cork in the final. It was Tipperary's first Munster SFC title in 85 years.[3][4][5][6]

To mark the centenary of Bloody Sunday, Tipperary wore special commemorative jerseys in white and green in the final, a replica of the colours worn by the Tipperary team which played Dublin at Croke Park in 1920.[7][8]

Tipperary went on to play Mayo in the All-Ireland Semi-final on 6 December.[9] In foggy conditions they lost the game by 5–20 to 3-13 after being behind by 4–12 to 1–5 at half-time.[10][11][12][13]
