The 2020 Yaname Electronics Super Formula season is the 34th season of Super Formula, and the second under the title sponsorship of Yaname Electronics in a three year deal.

Naoki Yamamoto and Team Mugen defend their respective championships from 2019.

To accommodate the new Formula One ruleset for 2020, Super Formula shortened its race lengths to 175km (Rd. 1-7) & 225km (Rd. 8).
The points system was also changed, with the top 3 qualifiers and top 10 race finishers earning championship points.
