The 2020 San Diego Padres season was the 52nd season of the San Diego Padres franchise, the 52nd in the National League and the Padres' 17th Season at Petco Park. The Padres were managed by Jayce Tingler, in his first season as the Padres Manager, and played their home games at Petco Park as members of Major League Baseball's National League West.

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.[1] 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.[2]

On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.[3]

The Padres became the first team in MLB history to hit a grand slam in four consecutive games, doing so in each of their four games against the Texas Rangers between August 17 and 20.[4]

On September 13, the Padres won their 31st game of the season, ensuring that they would finish with a winning record for the first time since 2010.[5] On September 20, the Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 4–1 to clinch their first postseason appearance since 2006.[6] They defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLWCS. The Padres won their first postseason series since the 1998 NLCS. Game 2 of their NLWCS was also the first home postseason win since Petco Park opened and since Game 4 of the aforementioned 1998 NLCS. The Padres winning Game 3 of the NLWCS also clinched their first postseason series at home since Game 5 of the 1984 NLCS (also a winner-take-all game). The Padres were defeated by the eventual World Series champions Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS at Globe Life Field.

The Padres finished the 2019 Season 70–92 in fifth place in the West Division. The Padres extended its 10-year streak of a losing record and a 15-year nonplayoff streak.
