The 2020 Canadian Premier League Final determined the winner of the 2020 Canadian Premier League season.
It was played on September 19, 2020, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, between Forge FC, the defending league champion, and HFX Wanderers FC.
Those teams qualified as the winner and runner-up of the group stage of The Island Games tournament.
The event was to be contested between the top-seeded team after the regular season and the winner of a one-game playoff but the season format was revised after being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The winner will earn a berth in the 2020 Canadian Championship Final and 2021 CONCACAF League.
Forge FC won the Final 2–0 with the winning goal coming in the 60th minute from Alexander Achinioti-Jönsson.
