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. On 11 June, the rescheduled calendar was confirmed, with the season beginning on 19 July with the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez. On 31 July, the FIM announced that the remaining flyaway races were to be cancelled, marking the first time since 1986 that the premier class was held entirely within Europe.

Marc Márquez and Repsol Honda started the season as the defending World Champion and World Constructors' champions respectively, after they both won their championships in 2019 for the fourth consecutive season.

Fabio Quartararo and Brad Binder won their first premier class victories during the season and KTM took their first victory as a constructor.

Rider changes

• Johann Zarco and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing announced midway through the 2019 season that they would end their relationship prematurely. Zarco was originally contracted through the end of 2020.[24] His seat was taken by 2016 Moto3 champion Brad Binder, who moved up to MotoGP from KTM's Moto2 program. Binder was originally slotted to replace Hafizh Syahrin at Red Bull KTM Tech3. Instead, fellow KTM Moto2 rider Iker Lecuona was promoted to the MotoGP class to replace Syahrin, who returned to Moto2.[15][25]
• Three-time MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo retired at the conclusion of the 2019 season, after 12 seasons in the premier class.[26] He was replaced at Repsol Honda by 2019 Moto2 champion Álex Márquez, alongside his brother Marc Márquez.[13][27] On 30 January 2020, Jorge Lorenzo was confirmed to be returning to Yamaha as a part of the manufacturer's European testing team.[28] Before the start of the season, Lorenzo confirmed that he would make a wildcard entry for Yamaha at the Catalunya round.[29] Due to the COVID-19 response, wildcard entries were later forbidden to minimize paddock personnel.[30]
• Between the Valencia and Jerez 2019 post-season tests, it was announced that Reale Avintia had elected to prematurely terminate Karel Abraham's contract which would have seen him with the team through the end of 2020. Abraham confirmed his retirement from MotoGP after 8 years in the premier class.[31] Johann Zarco joined Reale Avintia in Karel Abraham's place.[3]
• Andrea Iannone was handed a provisional suspension from all FIM-sanctioned events on 17 December 2019 for a failed doping test after the Malaysian Grand Prix. On 31 March 2020, the FIM International Disciplinary Court upheld the suspension and commuted it to an 18-month ban from the beginning of the provisional suspension.[32] Bradley Smith will replace him for at least the first 2 rounds of 2020, as Iannone awaits the results of his appeal.[1]

Mid-season changes

• Stefan Bradl replaced Marc Márquez from the Czech Republic round onwards while he recovered from injuries sustained in his opening round crash.[12]
• Ducati test rider Michele Pirro replaced Francesco Bagnaia in Austria while he recovered from injuries sustained in a crash during practice at the Czech round.[8]

Calendar changes as a reaction to COVID-19 pandemic

The season calendar was 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 Qatar Grand Prix, originally scheduled to be the first round, was cancelled after Qatari quarantine measures were put in place. However, the Moto2 and Moto3 races proceeded as planned, as the teams were already in Qatar for their final pre-season test before the quarantine measures were implemented.[55]
• The Thailand Grand Prix was postponed on 2 March due to COVID-19 concerns.[56] It was later planned to take place on 4 October, shifting the Aragon Grand Prix forward by a week.[57]
• The Grand Prix of the Americas was postponed from 5 April to 15 November after the City of Austin implemented a state of emergency. The Valencian Grand Prix was subsequently shifted back by one week to 22 November to accommodate the Austin rescheduling.[58]
• The Argentine Grand Prix was postponed to 22 November, further shifting the finale in Valencia to 29 November.[59]
• The Spanish Grand Prix was postponed on 26 March.[60]
• The French Grand Prix was postponed on 2 April.[61]
• The Italian and Catalan Grands Prix were postponed on 7 April.[62]
• The German Grand Prix was postponed on 17 April after the German government announced a ban of all large gatherings until at least 31 August.[63]
• The Dutch TT was postponed on 23 April after the Dutch government announced a ban on all mass events until at least 1 September.[64]
• The Finnish Grand Prix was postponed on 24 April.[65]
• The German, Dutch and Finnish rounds were officially cancelled on 29 April.[66] For the first time in the championship's history, the Dutch TT was absent from the calendar.
• The British and Australian rounds were cancelled on 29 May.[67]
• The Japanese round was cancelled on 1 June.[68]
• The Italian round was officially cancelled on 10 June.[69]
• On 11 June, a new schedule based solely within Europe was announced. The season is to contain 5 "double-headers" on consecutive weekends at Jerez, Austria, Misano, Aragon, and Valencia to achieve a minimum of 13 races.[33]
• The European Grand Prix returned to the calendar for the first time since 1995, held at Ricardo Tormo Circuit as the first round of the Valencian double-header.[33]
• The Grand Prix of the Americas was officially cancelled on 8 July.[70]
• The Argentine, Thai and Malaysian rounds were officially cancelled on 31 July.[71]
• On 10 August, the Portuguese Grand Prix was announced to be staging the final race of the 2020 season at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão. It will mark the first Portuguese Grand Prix since 2012, when it was held at the Autódromo do Estoril. Portimão has been MotoGP's reserve track since 2017.[42] It also marks the first time since 2001 that the season finale will not be held at Valencia.
