The 2020 Women's Masters Basel was held from September 18 to 20 at the Curlingzentrum Region Basel in Arlesheim, Switzerland as part of the World Curling Tour. The event was held in a round-robin format with a purse of 32,000 CHF.[1] [2] [3] It was the first women's event of the 2020–21 curling season.[4]

Olympic Gold Medalists Anna Hasselborg from Sweden defeated Raphaela Keiser from Switzerland in the final to win the event. Hasselborg finished the round robin with a perfect 4–0 record and won all three of their playoff games to claim the title. Team Keiser upset Swiss champions Elena Stern in the semifinal to qualify for the final. Keiser is coached by two-time world champion Binia Feltscher.

The event was intended to use a triple-knockout format, like previous years, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic many teams had to opt-out of the event, leaving a smaller field than usual.[5]
