The 2020 TOYOTA U.S. Figure Skating Championships were held from January 20–26, 2020 at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro, North Carolina. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels. The results were part of the U.S. selection criteria for the 2020 Four Continents Championships, 2020 World Junior Championships, and the 2020 World Championships.

Greensboro was announced as the host in November 2018.[1] The city previously hosted the event in 2011 and 2015.

Qualifying

U.S. Figure Skating implemented a new qualifying structure beginning from the 2019–20 season.[2] Competitors qualified through the National Qualifying Series (NQS), Regional (singles) and Sectional (pairs/ice dance) Challenges, and Sectional (singles) and U.S. (pairs/ice dance) Finals, held from June to November 2019, or earned a bye. The NQS is not mandatory, but the top six singles athletes in each section may earn a bye to the Sectional Singles Final, and the top three teams/couples in pairs and ice dance may earn a bye to the U.S. Final in their respective disciplines.[3] The top four finishers at the Sectional Finals (singles) and the top twelve finishers at the U.S. Finals (pairs/ice dance) earned a spot at the National Figure Skating Championships.

Juvenile, intermediate, and novice skaters qualified for the National High Performance Development Team and Camp in lieu of participating at U.S. Championships.
