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.[26] 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. The rounds at Monaco, the Hungaroring and Silverstone were not rescheduled and are absent from the revised calendar.[27]
