The 2020 Kerry Senior Football Championship was the 119th edition of Kerry GAA's premier Gaelic football tournament for senior teams in County Kerry, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams (8 club teams and 8 divisional teams), with the winners representing Kerry in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship if they are a club team. If the winners are a divisional team the winners of the Kerry Club Football Championship represent the county.

The championship usually has a back-door format for the first two rounds before proceeding to a knock-out format. Generally, any team to lose two matches will be knocked out of the championship. This year however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic seen the competition employ a straight knockout format.

It was Templenoe's first ever year as a senior club. Rathmore (who were relegated to the I.F.C. for 2020) will provide the East Kerry Divisional side with players for the S.F.C. Additionally, the Kenmare District board ceased to run competitions this year meaning that Kenmare Shamrocks, Kilgarvan, and Tousist will move to East Kerry to make it a 16-club division. The fourth club in the Kenmare District, Templenoe, who have been promoted to senior for 2020, joined the South Kerry Division.

East Kerry were the 2019 champions after they defeated Dr. Crokes in the final.

8 club teams and 8 divisional teams (16 in total) will take part in this year's S.F.C.

Kenmare District did not field a team for this year's S.F.C.

Relegation (See below): The club team to be relegated from the Senior County Championship will be the same team to be relegated from the Senior Club Championship (The 8 senior clubs play off against each other in two pools in the Club Championship. The two teams that finished bottom of the Group Pools enter a Relegation Final. This loser will be relegated to the I.F.C. for 2021. Should a club reach the final of the County championship they will be exempt from the Relegation process in the Club championship).

The winner of the 2020 I.F.C. will be promoted to the 2021 Senior County and Club Championships.
