The 2020 American League Wild Card Series were four best-of-three series in Major League Baseball (MLB) to determine participating teams in the 2020 American League Division Series. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MLB expanded the postseason from 10 to 16 teams (8 for each league) with all teams starting in the wild card round instead of holding the regular Wild Card Game for each league. All games for each series were played at the higher seeded team's home ballpark and were a best of 3 series.
The matchups were:
(1) Tampa Bay Rays (East Division champions) vs. (8) Toronto Blue Jays (second Wild Card): Rays won series, 2–0
(2) Oakland Athletics (West Division champions) vs. (7) Chicago White Sox (first Wild Card): Athletics won series, 2–1
(3) Minnesota Twins (Central Division champions) vs. (6) Houston Astros (West Division 2nd place): Astros won series, 2–0
(4) Cleveland Indians (Central Division 2nd place) vs. (5) New York Yankees (East Division 2nd place) Yankees won series, 2–0
