2020 Belarusian Premier League
The 2020 Belarusian Premier League was the 30th season of top-tier football in Belarus. Dynamo Brest were the defending champions, having won their first league title last year. Shakhtyor Soligorsk became champions on the last play date by beating FC Minsk 4–2. Meanwhile, BATE Borisov didn't win and drew 0–0 at Dinamo Minsk so Shaktyor Soligorsk finished 1 point above BATE in the table and will play in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League.
By late March 2020, it was the only European top-flight league being contested, as all others were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic; games were played with crowds. As a result, this led to substantially increased viewership from all over the world, due to sporting inactivity elsewhere. Only a few matches were postponed due to outbreaks of the disease in some teams and only one was cancelled due to the lack of influence of the result in November 2020. Matches were also postponed in August by the decision of the Football Federation of Belarus on the eve of the presidential elections and during protests in the country due to "force majeure circumstances".
Teams
The 15th-placed team of the last season Gomel was relegated to the 2020 Belarusian First League.

Gomel and Torpedo were replaced by two best teams of 2019 Belarusian First League.14-placed team of the last season were relegated after they lost relegation/promotion playoffs against First League third-placed team Rukh Brest.
