The 2020 U Sports Women's Volleyball Championship was scheduled to be held March 13–15, 2020, in Calgary, Alberta, to determine a national champion for the 2019–20 U Sports women's volleyball season.[1] The tournament was cancelled on the first day that games were scheduled to be played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] This was the first time that a national championship had not been played since it was first unofficially contested in 1970.[4]
