The 2020 Ladbrokes Players Championship Finals was the thirteenth edition of the PDC darts tournament, which saw the top 64 players from the Players Championship events of 2020 taking part. The tournament took place from 27 to 29 November 2020 at the Coventry Arena, Coventry, behind closed doors,[1] as it was announced on 23 September 2020 that the usual venue of Butlin's Resort in Minehead would be unavailable due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating Gerwyn Price 11–9 in the 2019 final,[2] and successfully defended his title to win the tournament for a sixth time, with an 11–10 victory over Mervyn King in the final.[3]
