The 2020 TK Sparta Prague Open was a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts. It was part of the 2020 WTA 125K series. It took place in Prague, Czech Republic between 29 August – 6 September 2020.

The tournament draw size was increased from 32 to 128 (and hence, the prize money and ranking points offered increased, as well). This was done to allow players unable to participate in the US Open qualifying to compete, which was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. along with the last minute cancellation of a concurrent tournament in Austria. Due to the overwhelming size of participants, the event scheduled to be held only on TK Sparta Praha had to have make use also of nearby I. Czech Lawn Tennis Club on the Stvanice Island.
