Race calendar

A nine-round provisional calendar was revealed on 11 October 2019. While Silverstone Circuit was not on this season's calendar, Autodromo di Pergusa was scheduled to debut as a Euroformula Open Championship round.[1] An updated calendar was announced on 22 October 2019.[22]

After the start of the season was delayed due to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, a new 8-round calendar was announced on 21 May 2020. The round at Circuit de Pau-Ville, which was on the original schedule, was not run this season.[23] On 3 June 2020 it was announced that the season opener at Hungaroring was moved back to 23–26 July.[24] On 10 June 2020 the season opener was moved to 8–9 August, while the round at Autodromo di Pergusa was cancelled with plans to run there in 2021.[25] Two of the eight rescheduled events will hold three races to compensate for the loss of one round.[26][27] On 22 October, the planned season finale at Jarama was cancelled due to rising COVID-19 cases in Europe, and it was announced that Barcelona would hold four races instead.[28]
