2020 FC Cincinnati season

The 2020 FC Cincinnati season was the club's second season in MLS, and the fifth season of a team playing under the FC Cincinnati brand after three years in the lower-division USL Championship. The club finished with a league worst 6–22–6 record in their inaugural MLS season in 2019, setting a league record for the most goals given up with 75.[1] The 2020 season was the final year that FC Cincinnati played home matches at Nippert Stadium, as their new West End Stadium is scheduled to open in March 2021.[2]

No fans were allowed to attend matches at Nippert Stadium due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FC Cincinnati's offseason transfers and preseason training were executed under head coach Ron Jans. However, Jans resigned on February 17, amidst an investigation into his alleged use of a racial slur. Assistant coach Yoann Damet took over as interim head coach two weeks before FC Cincinnati's first regular season match.[3] On May 21, 2020, Jaap Stam was named head coach.[4] Stam becomes the fourth head coach in club's MLS history. Said Bakkati, who had worked on Stam's staff in the past, was also named new assistant coach.
