Final Battle (2020) was a professional wrestling event produced by American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). It took place on Thursday December 10, 2020 and aired on tape delay on Friday, December 18 at the UMBC Event Center in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] It was the 19th event under the Final Battle chronology.

This was ROH's only pay-per-view event in 2020, as two previously scheduled events to have taken place in March (ROH 18th Anniversary Show and Supercard of Honor XIV) were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with ROH subsequently going on a five-month hiatus during the pandemic, and resuming operations in August.
