# 2020 Melbourne Storm season

The 2020 Melbourne Storm season was the 23rd in the club's history and they competed in the 2020 NRL season. The team was coached by Craig Bellamy, coaching the club for his 18th consecutive season. Melbourne Storm were also captained by Cameron Smith, who had been the sole captain for the team since 2008—making this his 13th consecutive season. The season was suspended indefinitely on 23 March due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; however, on 28 April the NRL announced it would recommence on 28 May as a 20 Round competition with a revised fixture.
After the recommencement of the season, Melbourne Storm initially played home games at AAMI Park as usual; however, an escalation in coronavirus cases and a subsequent second lock-down in the state of Victoria forced the Storm to relocate in late June, firstly, to New South Wales and then to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. This has meant that the Storm have had to play home games at multiple venues interstate throughout the 2020 season including Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Stadium on the Sunshine Coast.
The club had a successful season on the field and after twenty rounds, finishing the regular season in second spot and earning a "home" qualifying final against the Parramatta Eels which was played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The Storm won this final, progressing through to a week three preliminary final at the same venue, where they played and defeated the Canberra Raiders for a spot in the 2020 NRL Grand Final. The Storm defeated the Penrith Panthers in the 2020 NRL Grand Final to finish the season as Premiers.

## Jerseys

On 1 March 2020 at the Melbourne Storm family day the Storm unveiled their new jersey for 2020 which included a new major sponsor - Redzed Lending Solutions. The new jersey is predominantly navy blue and purple with fading chevrons down the front and white lightning bolts on the sides. Throughout the season the club also wore some commemorative jerseys namely for Indigenous round also an Anzac jersey was created, but because of the suspension of the season it was not worn until June. Also as of 13 June 2020 the Club added an embroidered V with the words "Our home Victoria" to both home and away jerseys to show support for their home state during the COVID pandemic. There was a change in sponsorship from Round 18 onwards with Rockcote replacing TigerAir on the front of the jersey and fuelyourlife.com.au replacing Tigerair on the back, this was due the brand being retired in Australia by Virgin Australia. Both new sponsors are also sponsor of the Sunshine Coast Lightning as well.
