The 2020 season was Sandefjord's first season back in the Eliteserien following their relegation to the 1. divisjon at the end of the 2018 season.

On 12 June, the Norwegian Football Federation announced that a maximum of 200 home fans would be allowed to attend the upcoming seasons matches.^[1]

On 10 September, the Norwegian Football Federation cancelled the 2020 Norwegian Cup due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway.^[2]

On 30 September, the Minister of Culture and Gender Equality, Abid Raja, announced that clubs would be able to have crowds of 600 at games from 12 October.^[3]

On 28 November, Sandefjord's match against Odd on 29 November was postponed due to a positive COVID-19 case within the Odd squad and the whole squad having to quarantine.^[4]
