2020–21 KCA President's Cup T20 was the inaugural season of KCA President's Cup T20 conducted by Kerala Cricket Association for promoting cricketers from Kerala. The tournament was held from March 6 to March 17.[2] [3]

It was planned to be held from 17 December 2020 to 3 January 2021.[4] [5] Later it was postponed as the Kerala government didn't give clearance to start the competition due to COVID-19 pandemic.[6] [7]
