Pavlov teamed up with Kateryna Dzitsiuk prior to the season. On the Junior Grand Prix, they placed seventh in Poland and Croatia. At the 2020 Ukrainian Championships, Dzitsiuk/Pavlov won the senior national title ahead of Victoria Bychkova / Ivan Khobta and Sofiia Nesterova / Artem Darenskyi, but Dzitsiuk was too young to be assigned to senior events. They instead were sent to the 2020 World Junior Championships, where they finished 12th.
