The 2019–2020 Toyota 86 Championship (known for commercial reasons as the 2019–20 Best Bars Toyota 86 Championship) was the seventh running of the Toyota Finance 86 Championship. The championship began on 30 November 2019 at Pukekohe Park Raceway and concluded on 16 February 2020 at Manfeild: Circuit Chris Amon.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the championship faced significant delays after the fourth round at Manfeild. After initially aiming to resume the championship in a one-off round at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park, the decision was made to declare the championship as title contender Jaylyn Robotham would not be able to attend said event owing to travel restrictions. Consequently, Peter Vodanovich was declared the series champion.
