The 2020 Port Adelaide Football Club season was the club's 24th season in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the 150th year since its inception in 1870.[1] The club would ordinarily have fielded its reserves team in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), though was prevented from doing so as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
