The 2020 IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia will be the 13th edition of the IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia, an annual international ice hockey tournament held by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). The tournament will take place from 27 April to 1 May 2020 in Singapore. Singapore will host the tournament for the first time.[1] Last year's fourth place finishers Malaysia will not participate for the first time since the 2014 edition and was to make their World Championship debut in the inaugural Division IV of the 2020 World Championship, but the Division IV tournament was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[2] India will return after a one year absence, bringing the number of participants reduced from seven to six teams.
