The Splatoon 2 Special Demo 2020 was a free Splatoon 2 demo available on the Nintendo eShop, and the successor to the Splatoon 2 Special Demo. Similar to previous Splatoon 2 demos, it allowed players to engage in free four-on-four Turf War with other players who own the full game, with additions of Salmon Run and Ranked Battle, at scheduled times. Players who downloaded the demo received a seven-day free trial for Nintendo Switch Online.

The demo was released on 22 April 2020 and was playable between 30 April 2020 and 6 May 2020 at varying times depending on the region. In addition, the full game was available at a discounted price on Nintendo eShop during the duration of the Special Demo 2020.

Description
