The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the filming of new episodes of all versions of Countdown proving impossible. This page details the repeats that were shown during a hiatus that will last at least 14 weeks, and possibly longer.

Channel 4 aired all but two episodes (due to request from Chris Hawkins not to show his two appearances) of the 30th Birthday Championship, with some rounds and interactions excised. From 29 June, Championship of Champions XIV and Championship of Champions XV will be repeated.

Notably, the repeat of Episode 5645 did not show one of the conundrums due to the definition of its solution having some relation to the outbreak, meaning that it looked like it was not decided on a tie-break conundrum. A similar situation can be found in Episode 6157.
