The 2020 season was the 115th season of competitive football in Norway.

The season was originally scheduled to start on 4 April, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway the football season was delayed. On 7 May 2020, the Norwegian government allowed the league to start on 16 June 2020.[1]

The men's 3. divisjon and women's 2. divisjon, along with all other lower divisions, were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The men's football cup was also cancelled.[3]
