The 2020 FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas is the second season of the reformed FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Bajas; an annual competition for baja-style rally raid events for cars, buggies, and side-by-sides held in multiple countries.
Calendar The initial calendar for the 2020 world cup featured eight cross-country baja events. Some events on the schedule are shared with the 2020 FIM Bajas World Cup. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the calendar suffered several changes.
