Kurakova competed at her first European Championships in January, placing tenth. She finished the season at the 2020 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, where she placed seventh. Kurakova remarked afterward "I'm so happy, because we did hard work with Brian and it was important for me to show what Brian made for me. I’m really grateful to my coaches and parents." She was scheduled to make her senior World Championship debut in Montreal, but this was prevented by the event's cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
