David Warner was reinstated as the captain of the Sunrisers replacing Kane Williamson on 27 February 2020.[1]
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the fixture details on 18 February 2020.[6] The league stage was scheduled to start on 29 March 2020, with the opening match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, the two finalist of the previous season.[7] On 13 March 2020, the BCCI postponed the tournament until 15 April, in view of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.[8] On 14 April 2020, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the lockdown in India would last until at least 3 May 2020,[9] with the tournament postponed further.[10] The following day, the BCCI suspended the tournament indefinitely due to the pandemic.[11]
On 17 May 2020, the Indian government relaxed nation-wide restrictions on sports events, allowing events to take place behind closed doors.[12] On 24 May, Indian sports minister Kiren Rijiju stated that the decision on whether or not to allow the tournament to be conducted in 2020 will be made by the Indian government based on "the situation of the pandemic".[13] On 2 August 2020, it was announced that the tournament would be played between 19 September and 10 November 2020 in the United Arab Emirates.[14] On 10 August 2020, the Indian government gave its permission for the tournament to take place in the UAE.[15] The schedule for the league stage of this season were released on 6 September with the Sunrisers Hyderabad playing their first match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on 21 September in a home game at Dubai.[16]
