2020 Pittsburgh Pirates season

The 2020 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the franchise's 139th season overall, 134th season as a member of the National League, and 20th season at PNC Park.
On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled. Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks. On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.
The Pirates finished the season with an MLB-worst record of 19–41. The team's .317 winning percentage was their worst since 1952. In terms of absolute numbers, the Pirates set a new MLB record for the fewest games won in any official season, finishing with one fewer win than the notorious 1899 Cleveland Spiders, although the 1899 Spiders played 154 games.
