The 2020 CIB Women's PSA World Series Finals was the second women's edition of the PSA World Tour Finals (Prize money : $185,000) after the renaming of PSA World Series. The top 8 players in the 2019–20 PSA World Tour are qualified for the event. The event took place at Mall of Arabia, Cairo in Egypt from 28 September–3 October 2020.
