The championship was played under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD) as a round-robin tournament with sixteen players. The total prize money for the tournament was 20,000 euros.
The tournament was characterized by number of changes in the list of participants, as a result of the suspension of the Russian and Belarusian Draughts federations, the coronavirus and visa problems.
Viktoriya Motrichko became world champion for the first time, two points ahead of Darya Tkachenko.
