The 2020 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 138th season in the history of the franchise, its 17th season at Citizens Bank Park, and the first season under new manager Joe Girardi.
On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled.[1] Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks.[2] On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camp on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for Opening Day on July 24.[3]
On September 19, the Phillies had a 27–25 record and needed to win just two of their final eight games to qualify for the playoffs. However, the Phillies collapsed by only going 1–7, thus encountering their third consecutive September collapse, missing the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season, and failing to improve on their 81–81 record from the previous season.[4]
