2020 Collingwood Football Club season

The 2020 Collingwood Football Club season is the club's 124th season of senior competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club also fielded its women's team in the AFL Women's competition though because of the COVID-19 pandemic it did not field reserves sides in the Victorian Football League and VFL Women's competitions.

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.

Regular season
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AFL started the first round playing in empty stadium and announced the league would be shortened to 17 rounds. Following the first round, the league was suspended due to the pandemic, and was resumed later in mid-June.

VFL/VFLW seasons (cancelled)
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. Collingwood also did not field a team in the VFL Women's league, as the competition was reduced to a four-team Super Series.
