The 2019–20 FIA Formula E Championship was the sixth season of the FIA Formula E championship. The championship was due to be contested over fourteen rounds in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North America, and South America. But seven ePrix – at  New York City, Paris, Rome, Sanya, London and the inaugural Jakarta and Seoul ePrix were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In their place six ePrix were scheduled across three different layouts at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit between 5–13 August. At Envision Virgin Racing team Sam Bird and Robin Frijns were retained for the 2019–20 season along with the Audi powertrain customer deal. Bird won the 2019 Diriyah ePrix, inaugural race of the season,  and got a podium in Race 1 of the 2020 Berlin ePrix. Frijns had a poor start until the season stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He then scored two podiums at Race 3 and 5 of the Berlin ePrix. Bird and Frijns finished 10th and 12th respectively that season and Envision Virgin finished 4th in the Teams’ Championship.
