The 2020 Montreal Impact season was the club's 27th season of existence, and their ninth in Major League Soccer, the top tier of the American soccer pyramid. This was the last season as the Impact, as they are now known as Club de Foot Montréal.

Around September and towards the end of the season, COVID-19 cross-border restrictions imposed by the Canadian government forced Montreal Impact to play the remaining home matches at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey.[1]
