The 2020 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season is scheduled to be the 63rd season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 71st overall. The Tiger-Cats will attempt to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive year and win their ninth Grey Cup championship. This would be the second season under co-general managers Drew Allemang and Shawn Burke and the second season under head coach Orlondo Steinauer.[1]
Training camps, pre-season games, and regular season games have been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The CFL announced on April 7, 2020 that the start of the 2020 season would not occur before July 2020.[2] On May 20, 2020, it was announced that the league would likely not begin regular season play prior to September 2020.[3]
