2020 Superbike World Championship

The 2020 season calendar was announced on 21 November 2019, with 13 rounds scheduled.[1] The championship will visit Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (on 19 and 20 September) for the first time,[2] and a round was due to be staged at Oschersleben – on 1 and 2 August – for the first time since 2004.[3] Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Losail round was postponed to an unannounced date[4] and the Jerez,[5] Assen,[6] Aragon and Misano rounds were rescheduled to a later date, while the Imola[7] and Oschersleben[8] rounds were cancelled. As a result of updates made to the MotoGP calendar for the same reason, the French round date was also affected.[5] Despite having already been rescheduled, the Assen round was later postponed to a to-be-determined date, along with the Donington round.[9]

On 19 June, an updated calendar was published; for the restart, Jerez and Portimão were brought forward from their respective dates and a second round at Aragon was added to the schedule. Other five rounds—the first at Aragon, as well as Barcelona, Magny-Cours, San Juan and Misano—either kept their original or revised dates, although the latter two events were labelled as 'to be confirmed'. Three rounds—Losail, Donington and Assen—were included without a confirmed date.[10][11]
