The 2020 CAF Super Cup (officially the Total CAF Super Cup 2020[4] for sponsorship reasons)[5] was the 29th CAF Super Cup, an annual football match in Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), between the winners of the previous season's two CAF club competitions, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.

The match was played between Al Ahly from Egypt, the 2019–20 CAF Champions League winners, and RS Berkane from Morocco, the 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup winners, at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar on 28 May 2021.

The match was originally scheduled to be played on 14, 15 or 16 August 2020,[6] in Qatar for the third season in a row, after they signed a three-year agreement with the CAF two seasons ago.[7] However, the match was delayed due to the postponement of the 2019–20 CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On 20 November 2020, the CAF announced that the match would instead be played in Cairo, Egypt,[8] with the date later set to be 10 December 2020.[9] However, RS Berkane refused to play the match at the home country of Al Ahly, and insisted the match be played at a neutral country.[10] The CAF announced on 10 December 2020 that the match would be moved back to Qatar, and to be played in the first half of 2021.[11] It was reported that the match would be played on 17 February 2021, but it was later revealed that a date has not yet been set.[12][13] The match was later once again rescheduled to be played on 28 May 2021.

Al Ahly won the match 2–0, winning their seventh CAF Super Cup title.[14]
