## 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. An updated calendar was announced on 22 October 2019.
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. On 3 June 2020 it was announced that the season opener at Hungaroring was moved back to 23–26 July. 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. Two of the eight rescheduled events will hold three races to compensate for the loss of one round. 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.
