Originally scheduled for 11–17 May 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was initially rescheduled to 20–26 September 2020, a week before the 2020 French Open. When the ATP schedule was later revised in August 2020, following the cancellation of this year's Mutua Madrid Open due to the resurgence of virus cases in Spain, organizers had to move the tournament earlier than planned by a week, and it is rescheduled to 14–21 September 2020. That leaves the dates were later placed for this year's Hamburg European Open (men) and Internationaux de Strasbourg (women). It is the 77th edition of the Italian Open and is classified as an ATP Tour Masters 1000 event on the 2020 ATP Tour and a Premier 5 event on the 2020 WTA Tour.
