Super Rugby
Following the cancellation of both the 2020 Super Rugby season and 2020 Global Rapid Rugby season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Western Force were invited to compete in the 2020 Super Rugby AU season, a domestic competition organised by Rugby Australia to replace the cancelled Super Rugby season. The Force will compete in the 2021 Super Rugby AU season and Super Rugby Trans-Tasman, and it is expected that their return to Super Rugby will be permanent.
