The 2020 Louisville Cardinals men's soccer team represented University of Louisville during the 2020 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The Cardinals were led by head coach John Michael Hayden, in his second season. They played home games at Lynn Stadium. This was the team's 42nd season playing organized men's college soccer and their 7th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The teams' 2020 season was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which curtailed the fall season and caused the NCAA Tournament to be played in Spring 2021. The ACC was one of the only two conferences in men's soccer to play in the fall of 2020. The ACC also held a mini-season during the spring of 2021.
