Team changes

• Epic Racing Team, Measuric Racing and YTF1 all withdrew from GPVWC after the end of the 2019 season.

New entries

• Chaos Engineering, Cosmo Seiki Japan, Holland Racing Team and reigning champions Red Arrow Racing were all promoted from Superleague Lights.
• Despite appearing on the grid since 2018 as part of a merger with the pre-existing Vod:Bul Racing team, Avid Chronic Racing reappeared as an entirely new, separate entity in 2020 following the split between ACR and Vod:Bul mid-way through 2019

Technical changes

Calendar changes

• The Malaysian, Spanish and, controversially, Monaco Grands Prix were removed from the calendar. The Malaysian round had only been reintroduced in 2019, while the Spanish Grand Prix had been held, at different venues, since 2002. The Monaco Grand Prix, however, had been held every year since the formation of GPVWC, with the only exception of during the curtailed 2001 season.
• The Dutch, French and Russian Grands Prix were reintroduced. The French race was last held in 2018 while Russia had been absent since the end of 2017. The Dutch Grand Prix, together with Zandvoort, was last held in 2012, despite an aborted attempt to hold the Grand Prix at Assen in 2016.
