The 2020 Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks baseball team represented the University of Louisiana at Monroe during the 2020 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Warhawks played their home games at Warhawk Field and were led by third year head coach Michael Federico. They were members of the Sun Belt Conference.

On March 12, the Sun Belt Conference announced the indefinite suspension of all spring athletics, including baseball, due to the increasing risk of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Soon after, the Sun Belt cancelled all season and postseason play.
