The 2020 Southern Conference Baseball Tournament was scheduled to be held from May 19 through May 24 at Fluor Field at the West End in Greenville, South Carolina. The annual event was to determine the conference champion of the Division I Southern Conference in college baseball. The tournament winner was to earn the league's bid to the 2020 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.[2]

The tournament was originally held from 1950 to 1953, when the Southern Conference was a large conference composed of several small schools and several large schools, the latter of which would form the Atlantic Coast Conference after the 1953 season. The event was re-established in 1984 and has been held every year since. Western Carolina has claimed ten championships, the most of any school, with The Citadel close behind at eight tournament wins. Furman, Samford, and defending champion Mercer are the only other current schools with multiple championships, having each won two. East Tennessee State and VMI have never won a title, although they both returned to the conference in 2015 after over ten years in other conferences.

The tournament was scheduled to be played in Greenville, which has hosted seven of the past eleven events.[3] On March 12, 2020, the NCAA cancelled all winter and spring sports competitions due to the coronavirus pandemic, thus cancelling the tournament.[4]
