Along with the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B – which Cruzeiro played for the first time in their history after being relegated in the 2019 season –, the club also competed in the Campeonato Mineiro and in the Copa do Brasil.

All competitions were suspended between 17 March and 25 July due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, which led the season to extend until 29 January 2021.

          Campeonato Brasileiro Série B

          On 3 October 2019, the Brazilian Football Confederation announced that the 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B would be played between 2 May and 28 November.[76] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and the consequent suspension of all football competitions between March and June, the games were rescheduled for dates between 8 August 2020 and 30 January 2021.[77]

          On 19 May 2020, according to a FIFA decision, it was announced that Cruzeiro would start the competition with a 6-point penalty due to the non-payment of the club's debt to Al Wahda for the loan from midfielder Denílson in 2016.[78]
