• Ryo Michigami's Drago Corse returns to the championship in partnership with ThreeBond. This marks the team's first appearance in the championship since 2016.
• Team LeMans left the championship at the end of 2019. This means that 2020 was the first season since 1988 where Team LeMans was not represented. Their place was filled by KCMG and Cerumo Motorsport which both added one car each. Cerumo's third car was entered as ROOKIE Racing.
• Real Racing announced it has withdrawn from the 2020 season.{{Cite news|url=https://www.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/real-racing-withdraws-2020-season/4697446/|title=Real Racing withdraws from 2020 Super Formula season|publisher=Motorsport Network|date=27 February 2020}}

• Tatiana Calderón moves to the revived Drago Corse team from the FIA Formula 2 Championship, becoming the first female driver in the current Super Formula era and the first in top level Japanese open-wheel racing since Ireland's Sarah Kavanagh entered two races in the 1997 Formula Nippon Championship.
• Jüri Vips was scheduled to contest the full season with Team Mugen, having joined the team at the final round of the 2019 Championship as a replacement for Patricio O'Ward. Vips missed the opening rounds at Motegi and Okayama due to his participation in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, and was replaced by Ukyo Sasahara on both occasions. Pandemic-related travel issues further prevented Vips from arriving in Japan, so Sasahara again filled in at Sportsland Sugo. Ahead of the fourth round at Autopolis, it was announced that Sasahara would keep the seat for the remainder of the season.
• Pietro Fittipaldi was initially confirmed in the #50 B-MAX entry.{{Cite news|url=https://www.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/pietro-fittipaldi-bmax-racing-motopark/4612318/|title=Fittipaldi back to Super Formula with BMAX/Motopark|publisher=Motorsport Network|date=12 December 2019}} Fittipaldi had previously competed in the first round of the 2018 Championship before an injury prevented his return. However, on the eve of a pre-season test at Fuji Speedway, it was announced that Sérgio Sette Câmara would instead occupy the seat, in what was described as a "late reshuffle of race seats due to conflicting sponsors' interests". Sette Câmara will be joined by Charles Milesi, who moves up from the Japanese Formula 3 Championship. B-Max's 2019 drivers Lucas Auer and Harrison Newey left the series, both moving to the DTM with BMW and Audi respectively.{{Cite news|url=https://www.motorsport.com/dtm/news/auer-bmw-2020-return-eriksson/4614601/|title=Auer secures 2020 BMW drive for DTM return|publisher=Motorsport Network|date=18 December 2019}}{{Cite web|title=Newey secures WRT Audi DTM drive as Jones drops out|url=https://www.motorsport.com/dtm/news/newey-wrt-audi-jones-2020/4835861/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-6|access-date=2020-07-16|website=www.motorsport.com| date=15 July 2020 |language=en}} Neither driver raced at Motegi with Teppei Natori driving the sole B-Max Dallara.
• Alex Palou left Nakajima Racing to move to IndyCar with Dale Coyne Racing. He was replaced by Japanese F3 and Euroformula Open race winner Toshiki Oyu.
• 2019 Japanese Formula 3 Champion Sacha Fenestraz replaces Yuji Kunimoto at Kondo Racing. Kunimoto will drive the newly acquired second car at Team KCMG.
• Following the departure of Team LeMans, Kazuya Oshima moved to the new ROOKIE Racing entry.

• Sergio Sette Câmara, and Charles Milesi unable to travel to Japan for the season opener due to Japan's COVID-19 travel restrictions. B-Max have to run one car for the opening season with Teppei Natori as the driver choice for the number 50 car, and recruited Mitsunori Takaboshi for the second round.
• Tatiana Calderón, Kamui Kobayashi, Kazuki Nakajima, Kenta Yamashita, unable to compete for the second round of the season due to quarantine time after they participated in the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans. Koudai Tsukakoshi, Yuichi Nakayama, Ritomo Miyata, Sena Sakaguchi covers for them respectively.
• Miyata, and Nakayama returns to compete in the fourth round as Kobayashi, and Nakajima unavailable due to FIA World Endurance Championship commitment.
• Charles Milesi able to compete in the series from the fourth round onwards, and Nobuharu Matsushita takes over Sette Câmara's seat for the remainder of the season.
• Tadasuke Makino have to miss the last round of the season after suffered meningitis. Hiroki Otsu replaces Makino.

For the 2020 season, the points system has been overhauled to be more in-line with Super GT. The final points standings only include the five best results. Additionally, bonus points are no longer available for the final race of the season. Points are also given to the top three drivers of qualifying as opposed to just points for pole position. Note that these qualifying points do not count towards the teams' championship.{{Cite web|first=Rachit|last=Thukral|date=2019-12-26|title=Super Formula overhauls points system for 2020|url=https://www.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/new-points-scoring-system-2020/4616640/|access-date=2020-08-29|website=www.motorsport.com|language=en}}
