The 2020 Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer team represented Indiana University Bloomington in men's college soccer during the 2020 NCAA Division I men's soccer season and 2020 Big Ten Conference men's soccer season. It was the 48th season the university fielded a men's varsity soccer program, and the 30th season the program played in the Big Ten Conference.

The season was originally scheduled to begin on August 28, 2020, and conclude on December 15, 2020; but was postponed to a February 19, 2021 start and May 17, 2021, end due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
