After making one-off appearances for Boutsen Ginion Racing in 2018, Ma Qing Hua made his full season return with Team Mulsanne, joining Kevin Ceccon, who drove for the team during the second half of the 2018 season. ^{[19] [20]}

2018 ADAC TCR Germany third-place finisher Niels Langeveld joined Audi Sport Team Comtoyou joining Frédéric Vervisch, while Gordon Shedden and Jean-Karl Vernay remained with Audi Sport Leopard Team WRT. ^[8] The second team entered by Comtoyou – Comtoyou Racing – switched from Audi RS 3 LMS TCR to CUPRA León TCR as the series do not allow more than four cars per manufacturer.

Calendar changes

• The series made their first appearance in Malaysia, with the round held at the Sepang International Circuit as the season finale. The race supported the FIM Endurance World Championship.
• The second round in China, held at the Wuhan Street Circuit, was discontinued.
• The Race of Slovakia moved from July date to May date, running after Race of Hungary. This round will also support the FIM Endurance World Championship.
• The Race of Germany moved from May to June.
• In September 2019 it was announced that the Race of Japan would be held on Suzuka's East Course instead of full GP layout used previous year due to an inability to transition the circuit from motorcycles to cars and back in time. It takes a considerable number of weeks to transition the full circuit with special FIM-approved barriers for events under Motorcycle Federation of Japan sanction, and the FIM barriers cannot be used for cars. It marked a return of East Circuit to the schedule after the WTCR's predecessor – WTCC – ran the layout from 2011 to 2013. ^[45]

Rule changes

Sporting changes

• The grid capacity was increased from 26 to 32 entries. Teams are allowed to enter only two cars, while manufacturers are allowed to be represented by no more than 4 cars. Wildcard entries will not be eligible to score championship points. ^{[46] [47]}
• The point-scoring system will be overhauled for this season. Now both qualifying sessions will award points for the top 5 drivers and all three races will award an equal number of points for the top 15: 25, 20, 16, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. ^{[46] [47]}
