Calendar changes
The Supercup series' calendar reflected that of the rest of the Career Ladder.
- The Malaysian, Spanish and, controversially, Monaco rounds were removed from the calendar.
- Hungarian, French and Russian rounds were reintroduced. The Hungarian and French races were last held in 2018 while Russia had been absent since the end of 2017. The Dutch round, last held in 2012, was provisionally set to return to the calendar in 2020 but was replaced by the Hungarian event when issues with the Zandvoort circuit became apparent.
