The West Indies cricket team toured England to play three Test matches in 2020. The team were originally scheduled to tour the country in May and June 2020. However, the series was initially postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cricket West Indies stated that they would do everything they could to help accommodate the fixtures, including moving them back or even hosting them in the West Indies. A revised tour schedule was proposed on 25 May 2020 and was confirmed on 2 June: this saw the series go ahead in July, with the matches all played behind closed doors. The Test series formed part of the inaugural 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.

The series was played for the Wisden Trophy. Ahead of the third Test, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket West Indies (CWI) agreed to retire the trophy following the conclusion of the series. It was replaced with the Richards–Botham Trophy, in honour of Sir Viv Richards and Sir Ian Botham.

On the morning of the fifth and final day of the third Test, England's Stuart Broad became the seventh bowler to take 500 wickets in Test cricket, when he dismissed Kraigg Brathwaite. Broad was the fourth fast bowler, and second bowler for England after James Anderson, to reach the milestone. England lost the first Test, but won the remaining two matches, to win the series 2–1, and regain the Wisden Trophy. It was the first time since 1888 that England had won a three-match Test series at home after losing the opening match.

The West Indies' tour was a major financial boost to English cricket during the pandemic, allowing the ECB to "keep the lights on", according to CEO Tom Harrison. To reciprocate the agreement, England expanded its tour of the West Indies in 2021–22 and toured again in white-ball cricket in 2023–24 and 2024–25.
