The 2020 Australian Open is a Grand Slam tennis tournament that will take place at Melbourne Park, from 20 January to 2 February 2020. It will be the 108th edition of the Australian Open, the 52nd in the Open Era, and the first Grand Slam of the year. The tournament will consist of events for professional players in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Junior and wheelchair players will compete in singles and doubles tournaments. As in previous years, the tournament's main sponsor is Kia.

Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka are the defending champions in Men's Singles and Women's Singles, respectively.

This will be the first edition of the Australian Open with GreenSet, a hard surface from company GreenSet Worldwide.[1] GreenSet is the third type of hard surface used for the Australian Open.

Due to the bushfires in Australia, there are rumors that this edition of the Australian Open could be canceled.

The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on ATP and WTA rankings on 13 January 2020, while ranking and points before are as of 20 January 2020. Points after are as of 3 February 2020.
