The 2020 Latvian First League (referred to as the Komanda.lv First League for sponsorship reasons) is the 29th season of second-tier football in Latvia. The season started on 4 July 2020.[1]

On November 6, 2020, the Latvian Football Federation determined the suspension of the championship due to COVID-19, so the final positions were assigned with a coefficient marked with the results obtained up to the last week played.[2]
