The 2020 PSL season was the eighth season of the Philippine Super Liga (PSL) which began on February 29, 2020 with the 2020 Grand Prix Conference.[1][2]
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the end of the season with the Grand Prix being the only conference held.[3][4] The Grand Prix Conference prematurely ended on March 23, 2020 after the PSL indefinitely postponed games.[5] Prior to the suspension, its last played game day March 10, 2020 was held behind closed doors.[6]
The PSL attempted to resume play through the Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup, an invitational beach volleyball tournament open to non-PSL teams in November in Subic.[7] However the plan was cancelled due to inclement weather conditions anticipated until the end of the year. The PSL plans to hold the beach tournament sometime in February 2021.[4]
