The 2020 OKC Energy FC season was the club's seventh season of existence, and their seventh consecutive season in the USL Championship, the second tier of American soccer. Energy FC will also take part in the U.S. Open Cup. The season covers the period from October 19, 2019 to the beginning of the 2021 USLC season. The 2020 season was the first for OKC under new head coach John Pascarella, who had previously been the assistant coach at Minnesota United FC. Pascarella became just the third head coach in club history; Steve Cooke had been in charge for the previous two seasons.
