Advancing into a new era of MTG esports, the 2020 partial season runs from January to July. August will kick off a year-long season, with the return of the Magic World Championship toward the end of the 2020-2021 season.
Several changes have been made for the upcoming digital esports season, expanding tournaments in Magic Arena, reducing qualifiers to one day, and a tournament name change.
- Formerly known as Arena Mythic Championships, the digital tournaments are now called Mythic Invitationals.
- Mythic Qualifiers on Arena have been condensed into a one-day tournament.
- New tournaments called Mythic Point Challenges have been added to the schedule, providing top-ranked Arena players a chance to earn Mythic Points during a season.
