The 2020 BYU Cougars baseball team represented Brigham Young University during the 2020 NCAA Division I baseball season. Mike Littlewood acted as head coach of the Cougars for an eighth consecutive season. The Cougars were picked to finish second in the WCC Pre-season poll.[2] However they secured more first place votes from the WCC Media than any team with 5 and were named the team to beat by Baseball America.[3] The Cougars never got to play in conference though as all athletic events were shutdown by the school March 12 due to COVID-19.[4]
