The 2020 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship was the 130th staging of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Tipperary County Board in 1887. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 27 January 2020.[1] The championship was scheduled to begin in April 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship eventually began on 25 July and ended on 20 September 2020.
The championship format essentially remained the same with 16 teams being divided into four groups of four teams, however, on 25 June 2020 the management committee of the Tipperary County Board announced the removal of the preliminary quarter-finals and the abolition of a place for a divisional champion in the knock-out stage.[8]
