2020 Junior World Rally Championship

The 2020 FIA Junior World Rally Championship was the nineteenth season of the Junior World Rally Championship, an auto racing championship recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship. The Junior World Rally Championship was open to drivers under the age of thirty—although no such restriction existed for co-drivers—competing in identical one-litre Ford Fiesta R2s built and maintained by M-Sport. The championship was contested over four selected WRC rounds with the winning crew awarded a new Ford Fiesta R5 car, 200 tyres, free registration into the 2021 World Rally Championship-3 and five free rally entries. The championship offered an additional prize of €15,000 to the highest-placed rookie driver to fund a drive in the 2021 Junior World Rally Championship.
Jan Solans and Mauro Barreriro were the reigning drivers' and co-drivers' champions. Sweden is the reigning Nations' Trophy winner. Tom Kristensson and Joakim Sjöberg won the 2020 junior championships, while Sweden sealed a back-to-back Nations' Trophy.

However, Rally Chile was later cancelled in the face of ongoing political unrest in the country, and Wales Rally GB was added back onto the calendar. Rally Italia Sardegna was postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A new calendar was revised after the championship was interrupted by six months. Ypres Rally was set to be the season's finale, but were unable to do so as the rally was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The finale moved to Monza instead.
