The 2020 Champion of Champions (also known as the 2020 ManBetX Champion of Champions for the purposes of sponsorship) is an upcoming professional snooker tournament that is scheduled to take place between 2 and 8 November 2020 at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England.[1][2][3] It is the tenth Champion of Champions event, the first of which was held in 1978. The tournament features 16 participants who had won World Snooker events throughout the prior snooker season. As an invitational event, the Champion of Champions tournament carries no world ranking points.

Neil Robertson is the defending champion, having defeated Judd Trump 10–9 in the 2019 final to win the championship, having required one snooker or foul shot to win the penultimate frame to avoid losing the match.[4]
