The 2020 J1 League, also known as the 2020 Meiji Yasuda J1 League (Japanese: 2020 明治安田生命J1リーグ, Hepburn: 2020 Meiji Yasuda Seimei J1 Rīgu) for sponsorship reasons, is the 28th season of J1 League, the top Japanese professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1993.
Kawasaki Frontale were the defending champions.
A total of 18 clubs contested the league. There have been only two changes from 2018, since Kashiwa Reysol and V-Varen Nagasaki relegated to J2 2020 while Júbilo Iwata defeated Tokyo Verdy in the promotion/relegation play-off. J2 2018 champions Matsumoto Yamaga come back in J1 after three seasons of absence, while Oita Trinita are coming back in the top tier after six years.[1] Both clubs stayed for just one season the last time they got promoted to J1.
