The 2020 Philadelphia Fusion season is the third season of the Philadelphia Fusion's existence in the Overwatch League and their first under head coach Kim "KDG" Dong-gun. The team will look to improve upon their 15–13 record from 2019 and return to the playoffs after missing them the previous season. The Fusion planned to host three homestand weekends in the 2020 season, with the first two taking place at The Met in Philadelphia and the third at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.[1] Following the worldwide outbreak of Covid-19, the Overwatch League cancelled all live events.
