2020 Loudoun United FC season

The 2020 Loudoun United FC season is Loudoun United FC's second season of existence, their second in the second-division of American soccer, and their 2nd in the USL Championship. The team only played one competitive match before the USL Championship suspended all league matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic[1] until further notice.

On July 11, the league resumed play in a radically different format: all USLC teams were sorted into regional Groups for a round-robin style tournament, where the top two teams from each Group would earn a playoff spot. Loudoun United was drawn into Group F with other teams from the Northeastern US, and would resume play on July 20 against Hartford Athletic.
