The 2020 season was the New York Giants' 96th in the National Football League (NFL) and their first under head coach Joe Judge.
For the first time since 2003, long-time quarterback Eli Manning was not on the roster, as he announced his retirement on January 22.[1][2][3] Manning led the Giants to six playoff appearances, three NFC East titles, and two Super Bowl wins in the 2007 and 2011 seasons, winning the game MVP title in both Super Bowls.
Despite starting the season 0–5 for the third time in eight years, the Giants improved on their 4–12 record from the previous season with their week 13 upset win over the Seattle Seahawks and rallied to finish 6–10, but despite beating their divisional rival, the Dallas Cowboys, the Giants failed to win the NFC East or make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, following the Washington Football Team winning their final game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. The Giants would have needed the Eagles to win in order to win the NFC East due to their head-to-head record against Washington, and it would have made them the first team in the Super Bowl era to make the playoffs with a double-digit losing record, as well as the first team to make the playoffs after starting 0-5.[4]
On July 20, 2020 the Giants confirmed that their home games would take place without fans in attendance due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[5]
