On 16 March 2020, FCF suspended the Campeonato Catarinense indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Complying with the guidelines of the Governo do Estado de Santa Catarina, the tournament resumed behind closed doors on 8 July 2020.
After the quarter-final first legs, played on 8 and 9 July 2020, several players and staff of Chapecoense, Criciúma, Figueirense, Joinville, and Marcílio Dias tested positive for COVID-19. Because of this, on 13 July 2020, the Governo de Santa Catarina and FCF suspended the tournament until 27 July 2020. Due to the spread of COVID-19, on 24 July 2020, the Governo de Santa Catarina extended the suspension until 7 August 2020, but a subsequent agreement between FCF and the Governo de Santa Catarina lifted the suspension. Finally, the tournament resumed again on 29 July 2020.
In the finals, Chapecoense defeated Brusque 3–0 on aggregate to win their seventh title.
Avaí were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
