2020 Chinese Super League

The 2020 Chinese Super League, officially known as the 2020 Ping An Chinese Football Association Super League (Chinese: 2020中国平安中国足球协会超级联赛) for sponsorship reasons, was the 17th season since the establishment of the Chinese Super League.^[1] The league title sponsor is Ping An Insurance.^[2]^[3] The season was scheduled to begin on 22 February and to end on 31 October,^[4] but was postponed following the COVID-19 pandemic.^[5] On 1 July 2020, Chinese Football Association announced that the season would be split into two stages. In the first stage, which began on 25 July 2020 and concluded on 29 September 2020, 16 teams were split into two groups in two locations, one in Dalian and the other in Suzhou.^[6]^[7] On 2 September 2020, Chinese Football Association announced that the second stage would begin on 16 October 2020 and conclude on 12 November 2020.^[8] Jiangsu Suning F.C. beat defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao 2-1 on aggregate in the finals to win their first-ever top-tier league title. However, three months later, Jiangsu F.C. was dissolved. As a result, the 4th-ranked team Shanghai SIPG gained the place to compete in 2021 AFC Champions League along with Guangzhou F.C. and Beijing Guoan, while Shijiazhuang Ever Bright escaped relegation.
