The 2020 Miami Marlins season was the 28th season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise in the National League and the ninth as the "Miami" Marlins. The Marlins played their home games at Marlins Park as members of the National League East. On September 25, with a 4–3 victory in 10 innings against the New York Yankees, the Marlins secured second place in the NL East, clinching their first playoff berth since 2003. The team dramatically improved its winning percentage from the previous year (.352 to .517) and made the playoffs in the 60-game season. The Marlins became just the second team in MLB history to reach the postseason the season after losing at least 100 games, joining the 2017 Minnesota Twins. They subsequently swept the Chicago Cubs in the NLWCS before losing in a three-game sweep to the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS, marking their first postseason series loss in franchise history.

On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled.{{cite web |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-2020-season-delayed |title=Opening Day delayed at least 2 weeks; Spring Training games cancelled |author=Mark Feinsand |date=March 12, 2020 |website=MLB.com |publisher=Major League Baseball |access-date=March 14, 2020}} Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks.{{cite web |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/opening-of-regular-season-to-be-pushed-back |title=Opening of regular season to be pushed back |date=March 16, 2020 |website=MLB.com |publisher=Major League Baseball |access-date=March 16, 2020}} On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season.
