The 2020 Winter Is Coming was the inaugural Winter Is Coming professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The event took place on December 2, 2020, at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. It was broadcast on TNT as a special episode of AEW's weekly television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite.

Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Kenny Omega defeated Jon Moxley to win the AEW World Championship. In other prominent matches, Chris Jericho defeated Frankie Kazarian and AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin and Cody Rhodes defeated Team Taz (Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs).

The event is notable for the debut of former World Championship Wrestling (WCW) legend Sting in AEW, which was his first appearance on TNT in over 19 years since he defeated Ric Flair on the final episode of WCW Monday Nitro.
