The 2020 WWE Draft is the fifteenth WWE Draft produced by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE between Raw and SmackDown. It is scheduled to begin on the October 9 episode of Friday Night SmackDown and conclude on the October 12 episode of Monday Night Raw. Both shows will broadcast from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida with SmackDown airing on FOX and Raw on USA.

The rules for the 2020 WWE draft were revealed by Fox Sports on October 8, which are the same as the October 2019 draft. Over 60 male and female wrestlers, as well as individual tag teams and stables, including current champions, were placed into the 2020 drafting pools. Over 20 wrestlers were announced as being eligible to be drafted on the October 9 episode of SmackDown and more than 30 wrestlers will be eligible to be drafted on the October 12 episode of Raw.

The rules of the draft are as follows:

  • Due to the length of each show, for every two picks SmackDown gets, Raw receives three (as SmackDown is two hours and Raw is three).
  • Tag teams and stables will count as one pick unless FOX or USA, in conjunction with WWE, wants to specifically pick one wrestler from the group.
  • Any undrafted wrestlers will immediately be declared free agents and are able to sign with the brand of their choosing.
