Calendar

The MotoE provisional calendar, released in September 2019, featured six races in five venues, supporting the Spanish, French, Dutch, Austrian and San Marino Grands Prix—the latter being a double-header;[5] an additional race was added in December 2019, when a double-header in Valencia replaced the single French race.[6]

As a revised schedule was released in June 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the following Grands Prix are scheduled to take place in 2020.[7]

Calendar changes as a reaction to coronavirus pandemic

The season calendar has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the cancellation or postponement of many races and an overall delay to the start of the season.

• The Spanish Grand Prix, due to be held on 3 May, was postponed on 26 March.[8] Its date was later set to 19 July.[7]
• The Dutch TT was postponed on 23 April after the Dutch government announced a ban on all mass events until at least 1 September.[9] It was subsequently cancelled on 29 April.[10]
• The Austrian and Valencian Community Grand Prix, which were confirmed on the overall MotoGP calendar, were not part of the revised MotoE schedule.[7]
• The San Marino Grand Prix, which was due to host a double-header round,[5] became a single-header event.[7] A double-header to be held at the same track was added for the following week, as part of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.[7]
• A second event at Jerez, named after Andalusia, and a double-header at the French Grand Prix, were also added to the revised schedule.[7]
