Provisional calendar

The provisional calendar for the 2020 season was announced on 11 September 2019.[1]

On 15 May 2020, Renault Sport unveiled a new 10-round calendar, after multiple postponements and cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] The revised calendar includes races at Magny-Cours for the first time since 2010, as well as a return to Imola and Zandvoort, where the series last raced in 2004 and 2000 respectively.
