The 2020 Capitalbox World RX of Finland was the third and fourth round of the seventh season of the FIA World Rallycross Championship. The event was held at the Tykkimäki amusement park in Kouvola.[1][2]

In June 2020, an extraordinary World Motor Sport Council added an event in Kouvola (Finland) to replace the World RX of France as it was cancelled, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The event was a double-header[4]
