Сезон 1920 году ў АПФА быў першым сезонам Амерыканскай Прафісійнай Футбольнай Асацыацыі, перайменованай у Нацыянальную Футбольную Лігу (НФЛ) у 1922 годзе. Ліга была ўтворана 20 жніўня 1920 году незалежнымі прафісійнымі камандамі з Агаё, якія раней гулялі ў лізе Агаё "Ohio League" або ў Прафесійнай Лізе Футболу Нью-Ёрка "New York Pro Football League" (NYPFL). Спачатку ліга была названа - Амерыканская прафесійная футбольная канферэнцыя (American Professional Football Conference), але ўжо на другой сустрэчы, 17 верасня, была перайменована ў Амерыканская Прафесійная Футбольная Асацыяцыя (American Professional Football Association). Першым прэзідэнтам "АПФА" быў названы Джым Торпа з Кантон Булдогс.
