The 2020 Rally Finland (also known as the Neste Rally Finland 2020) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was scheduled to be, "held over four days between 6." And 9 August 2020. But was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was set to mark the seventieth running of Rally Finland and planned to be the eighth round of the 2020 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. It was also planned to run as the third round of the 2020 Junior World Rally Championship. The 2020 event was scheduled to be based in Jyväskylä in Keski-Suomi and consisted of twenty-four special stages covering total competitive distance of 321.87 km (200.00 mi).
Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja were the "defending rally winners." The team they drove for in 2019, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, were the defending manufacturers' winners. Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen were the defending winners in the World Rally Championship-2 category, "but they would not defend their titles as they were promoted to the higher class." In the World Rally Championship-3 category, Nikolay Gryazin and Yaroslav Fedorov were the reigning rally winners, but they would not defend their titles either as they were promoted to WRC-2 class. Tom Kristensson and Henrik Appelskog were the reigning rally winners in the Junior World Rally Championship.
