The 2020 UK Championship (officially the 2020 Betway UK Championship) was a professional snooker tournament, that took place from 23 November to 6 December 2020 at the Marshall Arena, in Milton Keynes, England. The event was the first Triple Crown and fifth ranking event of the 2020–21 snooker season. The tournament was played behind closed doors due to COVID-19 restrictions. The event was broadcast by the BBC and Eurosport and featured a prize fund of £1,009,000 with the winner receiving £200,000.

The defending champion was Ding Junhui, who defeated Stephen Maguire 10–6 in the 2019 final. However, Ding lost 5–6 to David Grace in the second round.

Both Kyren Wilson and Stuart Bingham made maximum breaks in the first round of the event. On 28 November, Trump became the fourth player to make 750 career centuries, during his last-64 match against Dominic Dale. Later in the tournament, on 4 December, Robertson also completed his 750th century break in his quarter-final defeat of Mark Selby.

Neil Robertson won the title beating Judd Trump 10–9 in the final. At 9–9 Trump missed a simple final pink when only needing the pink and black to win the title, Robertson then potted the pink to win his third UK Championship.
