Squad

Players are listed by guernsey number, and 2020 statistics are for AFL regular season and finals series matches during the 2020 AFL season only. Career statistics include a player's complete AFL career, which, as a result, means that a player's debut and part or whole of their career statistics may be for another club. Statistics are correct as of the 1st Semi Final of the 2020 season (10 October 2020) and are taken from AFL Tables.

Collingwood had been expected to field a reserves men's team in the Victorian Football League for a thirteenth consecutive season. The AFL however issued a direction to all 18 clubs mandating that no AFL-listed player at a club could participate in a second-tier state league amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the season was cancelled indefinitely.[85] Collingwood also did not field a team in the VFL Women's league, as the competition was reduced to a four-team Super Series.[86]
