F1 2020 is the official video game of the 2020 Formula 1 and Formula 2 Championships developed and published by Codemasters. It is the thirteenth title in the Formula 1 series developed by the studio and was released on 7 July for pre-orders of the Michael Schumacher Edition and 10 July for the Seventy Edition on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and, for the first time, Stadia.[1] The game is the twelfth main series installment in the franchise, and it features the twenty-two circuits, twenty drivers and ten teams proposed in the provisional 2020 Formula 1 World Championship.

F1 2020 features the championship as it was originally intended to be run before the COVID-19 pandemic led to the postponement or cancellation of several races, with races at other circuits held.[2][3][4][5][6] This was the final F1 game to be released independently by Codemasters before the studio was bought by EA in February 2021. The game was delisted on consoles by the end of May 2022; the Steam version followed in March 2023.
