The 2020 ITTF World Tour was the 25th season of the International Table Tennis Federation's professional table tennis world tour.
The season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with only three events having taken place. The ITTF World Tour Grand Finals were replaced by the 2020 ITTF Finals, a one-off event featuring the top-ranked male and female players, as part of the International Table Tennis Federation's #RESTART series of events in November 2020.

| Finalist | 300 | 150 | 125 | 100 |
| Semifinalists | 200 | 75 | 63 | 50 |
| Quarterfinalists | 100 | 38 | 31 | 25 |
| Round of 16 | 50 | 19 | 16 | 13 |
| Round of 32 | 25 | 8 |
The tournaments in the 2020 tour were split into two tiers: World Tour Platinum and World Tour. The Platinum events offered higher prize money and more points towards the ITTF World Tour standings, which would have determined the qualifiers for the ITTF World Tour Grand Finals in December.
