The 2020 MotoE World Cup (known officially as the 2020 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the second season of the MotoE World Cup for electric motorcycle racing, and was a support series of the 72nd F.I.M. Grand Prix motorcycle racing season.
The season calendar was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the cancellation or postponement of many races and an overall delay to the start of the season.
The season champion was Jordi Torres in his first season in the electric class, after achieving four podium finishes (including one win) and never finishing outside of the top 6. Runners-up Matteo Ferrari and Dominique Aegerter also tallied four podiums including two wins each, but retirements and poor finishes at the remaining races meant that they could not match Torres at the season's final race.{{Cite web|date=2020-10-11|title=Torres crowned 2020 World Cup winner, Tuuli wins Race 2|url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/10/11/torres-crowned-2020-world-cup-winner-tuuli-wins-race-2/350051|access-date=2020-10-12|website=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|language=en}}

Regulation changes
In case two races are held in the same weekend, the E-Pole qualifying session determines the starting grid for Race 1, while the grid for Race 2 features the riders in the order they have finished Race 1, followed by the non-classified riders sorted by qualifying time. Previously, both races were run with the same starting grid, based on E-Pole results. {{cite news|url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/09/18/fim-enel-motoe-world-cup-race-2-grid-changes/344456|title=FIM Enel MotoE World Cup: Race 2 grid changes|work=motogp.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|date=18 September 2020|access-date=19 September 2020}} Only the pole rider of the first race of a weekend is credited with a pole position; the polesitter for the second race is not officially recorded for the rider.
Calendar
The MotoE provisional calendar, released in September 2019, featured six races in five venues, supporting the Spanish, French, Dutch, Austrian and San Marino Grands Prix—the latter being a double-header;{{cite web |url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2019/09/23/provisional-2020-fim-enel-motoe-world-cup-calendar-unveiled/309487 |title=Provisional 2020 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup calendar unveiled |date=23 September 2019 |website=motogp.com |publisher=Dorna Sports |access-date=2 December 2019}} an additional race was added in December 2019, when a double-header in Valencia replaced the single French race.{{cite web |url=https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2019/12/11/motoe-calendar-change-le-mans-replaced-by-valencia/321688|title=MotoE calendar change: Le Mans replaced by Valencia|date=12 December 2019|website=motogp.com |publisher=Dorna Sports|access-date=14 December 2019}}
