The 2020 REV Group Grand Prix Doubleheader was an IndyCar Series event held July 11–12, 2020. It made up the third and fourth rounds of the series' 2020 season. The race was originally scheduled for June 21, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the weekend was turned in to a double-header event in an effort to make up for races outright cancelled by the pandemic. The race was also the first event of the 2020 season to allow spectators at the track, with track promoters allowing unrestricted attendance.

Race 1 – July 11 All sessions for race 1 took place on Saturday, July 11.

Qualifying Qualifying began at 2:15 CDT. As the event was doubleheader, series rules meant qualifying was a single round (instead of two rounds as normal), split into two groups. Drivers from the group with the fastest driver having the better time started in the odd number positions, while the group whose fastest time was worse than the other group took even number positions.
