The 2020 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season was scheduled to be the 63rd season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 71st overall. This would have been the second season for the Tiger-Cats under co-general managers Drew Allemang and Shawn Burke and the second season under head coach Orlondo Steinauer.

Training camps, pre-season games, and regular season games were initially postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario. The CFL announced on April 7, 2020 that the start of the 2020 season would not occur before July 2020. On May 20, 2020, it was announced that the league would likely not begin regular season play prior to September 2020. On August 17, 2020 however, the season was officially cancelled due to COVID-19.
