The 2020 FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland was the first, second, third, fourth, seventh and eighth rounds of the 2020 Speedway Grand Prix season (the World Championship). The calendar of events was severely disrupted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore Poland held six rounds of the eight rounds of the 2020 World Championship. ^[1] With the exception of the Czech Republic, all of the scheduled rounds to be held in other countries were cancelled. ^[2]

The first two rounds took place on 28 & 29 August 2020 at the Olympic Stadium in Wrocław. The third and fourth rounds were held on 11 and 12 September at the Edward Jancarz Stadium in Gorzów Wielkopolski and finally the last two rounds were held on 2 & 3 October MotoArena Toruń in Toruń. ^[1]

The rounds were the 42nd to 47th Speedway Grand Prix of Poland. ^[3]

The rounds were won by Artem Laguta (his maiden career Grand Prix win), ^[4] Maciej Janowski (his 7th career Grand Prix win), ^[5] Freddie Lindgren (his 5th career Grand Prix win), ^[6] Max Fricke (his maiden career Grand Prix win), ^[7] and two by Bartosz Zmarzlik (his 7th and 10th career Grand Prix wins). ^[8]

In the final round at Toruń, Tai Woffinden defeated Freddie Lindgren in a race-off for the silver medal.
