The 2020 FC Edmonton season was the club's ninth competitive season as well as their second in the Canadian Premier League. In their previous season, FC Edmonton finished 3rd in the Spring season and 6th in the Fall season, failing to qualify for the finals.

FC Edmonton celebrated their tenth anniversary by introducing home kits featuring the Roman numeral 'X' on the front and back.[1] The club finished the COVID-19 shortened season in last place, failing to record a win in seven matches.[2] Following the 2020 campaign, Jeff Paulus resigned as head coach and general manager but remained with the club in a new role.[3]
