The 2020 Damallsvenskan was the 33rd season of the Swedish women's association football top division, Damallsvenskan. The league was originally set to commence on 3 April 2020, but due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic it was postponed, and eventually set to begin on 27 June, and end on 15 November. All matches were played without spectators.
Legandary Umeå IK returned to the top tier after 3 years in Elitettan but were relegated alongside Uppsala again at the end of the season.[1][2] Göteborg were the champions, claiming their first Damallsvenskan title.
All matches were viewed worldwide, except for Mexico, for a fee at Damallsvenskan TV Archived 2017-03-05 at the Wayback Machine. Aftonbladet have bought broadcasting rights for all Damallsvenskan matches from 2020 to 2022 and will have them available at Sportbladet Play.
