2020 British Superbike Championship

The 2020 British Superbike Championship season was the 33rd British Superbike Championship season. Because of a late season start caused by the global pandemic, all races were run behind closed doors and the playoff was abolished. Josh Brookes regained the Championship Title for a 2nd time on a VisionTrack Ducati Panigale V4 over fellow Aussie Jason O'Halloran.
