Schedule

The full schedule was revealed on November 21, 2019, with the series being divided into the American Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks and the Australian Boost Mobile Super Trucks; both championships will also host three combination rounds.
The trucks will return to Road America with the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In October, the series will return to Lake Elsinore Diamond, which held races in 2017 and 2018.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Grand Prix of Long Beach, originally scheduled for April 18–19, was canceled, ending a nine-year streak for SST at the street circuit dating back to the series' inaugural season in 2013. The combination Perth SuperNight at Wanneroo Raceway on May 16–17 was postponed, though SST intends to commit to the rescheduled date once it is finalized. On May 18, Honda Indy Toronto was removed from its July 11–12 date after local legislation expanded the city's ban on major events through the month, with race officials planning to find a new date. The Grand Prix of Portland, planned for September 5–6, was called off on July 27.

Season summary

The 2020 season began with a combination race weekend with the Boost Mobile Super Trucks at Adelaide Street Circuit. The weekend, which was promoted as an "Australia v USA Series", saw eight Australian drivers and three Americans. Robby Gordon and Bill Hynes, who ran the full 2019 schedule, returned for Adelaide; fellow American Sara Price made her SST return after last racing in 2017. Gordon won Race 1 after starting first and holding off a charge by Toby Price on the final turn. Matt Mingay and Paul Morris dominated the second race until Gordon and Brabham passed them late in the event; the two ran side-by-side to the finish with Brabham winning by just 0.0361 seconds. Shae Davies, a series newcomer, won the final race after avoiding early wrecks and distancing himself from the field as they fought for position.
