The 2020 National Conference League was the 35th season of the National Conference League, the top league for British amateur rugby league clubs.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was initially postponed on 13 March until 6 June, after matchweek two.[1][2] On 27 April it was announced that the tournament would be cancelled and promotion and relegation scrapped for the 2020 season. A small number of friendlies occurred over the summer, when government restrictions were loosened, in order to help participating clubs with revenue.[3][4][5]
