Training camps, pre-season games, and regular season games were initially postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta. The CFL announced on April 7, 2020, that the start of the 2020 season would not occur before July 2020.[2] On May 20, 2020, it was announced that the league would likely not begin regular season play prior to September 2020.[3] On August 17, 2020, however, the season was officially cancelled due to COVID-19.[4]

This would have been the first season under head coach Scott Milanovich following the dismissal of Jason Maas following the 2019 season.[5] This also would have been the fourth season under general manager Brock Sunderland.
