2020–21 KCA President's Cup T20 was the inaugural season of KCA President's Cup T20 conducted by Kerala Cricket Association for promoting cricketers from Kerala. The tournament was held from March 6 to March 17.[2][3]

It was planned to be held from 17 December 2020 to 3 January 2021.[4][5] Later it was postponed as the Kerala government didn't give clearance to start the competition due to COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7]

The competition started with a round robin group stage, in which each of the 6 teams played a match against every other team. This was followed by the playoffs. Each team had 14 players. All the matches were day-games with white ball and coloured clothing as per BCCI playing conditions. Two matches were played in a day. There were a total of 33 matches.[8]

The Kerala senior team players who were in Delhi for the 2020-21 Vijay Hazare Trophy knockout matches joined their respective squads later after undergoing RT-PCR tests on return. Though Sanju Samson didn't play the tournament.[3]

Venue for KCA President's Cup T20 was Sanatana Dharma College Ground, Alappuzha. The sponsors of the KCA President's Cup T20 was Dream 11.[8]
