Driver changes Alice Powell joined the grid as a full-time driver, formerly competing in the inaugural race as a VIP driver. Fahad Algosaibi and Mashhur Bal Hejaila replaced the reigning Pro-Am Champion Bandar Alesayi and Ahmed Bin-Khanen at Saudi Racing. Sun Chao replaced Ziyi Zhang at Jaguar China Racing.

Team changes Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, who previously competed in the Pro class, will not return to the series. Team Germany has moved to the Pro class after replacing Célia Martin with Alice Powell.

Mid-season changes Mário Haberfeld replaced Cacá Bueno in the opening race weekend in Diriyah. Bueno returned in the following round. A new Japanese entry dubbed 'Team Yokohama Challenge' will field Takuma Aoki, the first disabled person to compete in an international electric race series, starting with round three at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. ZEG Jaguar Brazil expanded their entry to three cars prior to the Mexico City ePrix and added Adalberto Baptista to their lineup. Jaguar China Racing couldn't fly its standard driver lineup to Mexico City due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the team to replace them with David Cheng and a local driver Manuel Cabrera. The rescheduled Berlin ePrix saw Sun Chao, Yaqi Zhang (Jaguar China Racing) and Mashhur Bal Hejaila (Saudi Racing) missing the event, with the respective teams using replacement drivers.

Calendar changes The Diriyah ePrix was expanded to two races. The Monaco ePrix did not return for this season as the event is run biennially. The Hong Kong ePrix, scheduled for 1 March, was scrapped due to political protests in the city. The event was supposed to be replaced by the returning Sanya ePrix. Any races scheduled after 1 March 2020 were initially postponed and then cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic until it was announced that the Berlin ePrix will host all of the remaining races in August.

Regulation changes Technical regulations The "attack mode" system would be adopted from the parent series after successful trials were completed in New York City in July 2019.

Pre-season On 3 October 2019, Mark Turner was announced as the series' championship manager. Turner was formerly involved in the Audi R8 LMS Cup, Formula BMW and the SEAT Cupra Championship. The new VIP car was unveiled on the same day, now sporting a black-dominated livery with cyan accents. Pre-season testing began on 28 October at the Bedford Autodrome.
