The '''2020 Players Championship''' (officially the '''2020 Coral Players Championship''') was a professional [[snooker]] tournament that took place from 24 February to 1 March 2020 at the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre in [[Southport]], England. It was the 14th [[Snooker world rankings|ranking]] event of the [[2019–20 snooker season]] and the second leg of the [[Coral Cup (snooker)|Coral Series]]. The tenth edition of the [[Players Championship (snooker)|Players Championship]], first held in [[2011 Players Championship|2011]], the event was sponsored by sports betting company [[Coral (bookmaker)|Coral]], and broadcast on [[ITV4]] in the United Kingdom, and [[Eurosport]] across Europe. The event featured 16 participants chosen from players who were the highest earners from the prior 13 ranking tournaments.

[[Ronnie O'Sullivan]] was the defending champion after beating [[Neil Robertson]] 10–4 in the [[2019 Players Championship (snooker)|2019 final]], but he failed to qualify for the 2020 event, being 18th in the rankings before the tournament began. The event was won by [[Judd Trump]] who defeated [[Yan Bingtao]] 10–4 in the final. It was the 16th ranking title of Trump's career, and his fifth ranking event win of the season. With it, he equalled the record held jointly by [[Stephen Hendry]], [[Ding Junhui]], [[Mark Selby]] and O'Sullivan for the most ranking titles in a single season. There was a total of 18 [[century break]]s made during the tournament, the highest of which was a 140 made by [[Neil Robertson]] in the second {{cuegloss|frame}} of his first round loss to [[Joe Perry (snooker player)|Joe Perry]].
