Several changes to the calendar were made due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several races were cancelled resulting in only 9 rallies this season, however a round in Austria and a round in Tenerife were added to the calendar whether or not they will be permanent rallies on the calendar is unknown.

The Rally de France was originally part of the provisional 2020 calendar due to Loeb and Ogier (the two most successful rally drivers) being in the series but this was moved back to the final race of 2021.
