The 2020 VTC World Cup season is the second season of the FVA VTC World Cup after the shortened 2018 championship, and is run for hatchback and saloon touring cars, each with 2 litre engines of varying configurations. The series is administered by the FVA VTC Commission. Lewis Ellington is the defending VTC World Cup champion from 2018, with Cheema VTC Team as defending team's champions, though Ellington won't defend his title as he is racing for Meteor in Formula Virtual.

Oleksandr Zozulya won his first VTC title after beating Aleksey Nowosinki to the crown. Nowosinki's team Audi Sport Team Lapierre won the team's title, beating Zozulya's team BMW Gray Autosport by just 2 points.
