The 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship was a motor racing championship for Formula 2 cars, sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The championship was the fifty-fourth season of Formula 2 racing and the fourth season run under the FIA Formula 2 Championship moniker. It is an open-wheel racing category, that serves as the second tier of formula racing in the FIA Global Pathway. The category was run in support of selected rounds of the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship. As the championship was a spec series, all teams and drivers competing in the championship ran the same car, the Dallara F2 2018.[1]

Nyck de Vries was the 2019 drivers' champion, having won the title at the penultimate race of the 2019 championship in Russia[a], thus Mick Schumacher became the next driver to win the title at the final race in the Outer layout of the Bahrain International Circuit with 14 points ahead of runner-up Callum Ilott. DAMS were the reigning teams' champions, having secured their first Formula 2 title in Abu Dhabi. Prema Racing became the next team to clinch teams' title for the first time, after the finish of the feature race in the Outer layout of the Bahrain International Circuit.

2020 was due to be the final season with the Dallara F2 2018 chassis package which debuted in 2018 with a new chassis introduced for 2021. This was delayed for another three seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Season would see a record 12 different race winners: with the most race victories of 4 for Robert Shwartzman, 3 wins went to Callum Ilott, Yuki Tsunoda and Felipe Drugovich. 2 races were won by champion Mick Schumacher, Christian Lundgaard and Nikita Mazepin. Other drivers, who won a race were victorious once: victories went to Luca Ghiotto and Nobuharu Matsushita, (for both of them victories were final in the series before retiring from F2), and others: Dan Ticktum and Jehan Daruvala with last winner being Guanyu Zhou.
