The 2020 American League Division Series were two best-of-five-games series in Major League Baseball (MLB) to determine participating teams in the 2020 American League Championship Series. Those matchups were:
- (1) Tampa Bay Rays (East Division champions) vs. (5) New York Yankees (East Division 2nd place): Rays win series 3–2.
- (2) Oakland Athletics (West Division champions) vs. (6) Houston Astros (West Division 2nd place): Astros win series 3–1.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all games for each of the two series were held at two neutral sites at Petco Park in San Diego, California, and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The games were televised nationally by TBS. The Rays would earn their second American League Championship Series berth, their first being in 2008, while the Astros won their fourth straight American League Division Series.
The Rays would go on to defeat the Astros in the ALCS, then lose the 2020 World Series to the National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
