The 2020 F1600 Championship Series season was the ninth season of the F1600 Championship Series.

The previous year's champion was Jonathan Kotyk of K-Hill Motorsports.

The F1600 Championship Series performances of Simon Sikes earned him Team USA scholar status and a USF2000 debut before the end of the year, and he took a best finish of fourth from his brief stint in the Road to Indy.

In the end he comfortably won the F1600 title, heading karting graduate Dylan Christie and Dexter Czuba, and also was the SCCA National Championship Runoffs winner in Formula F.

Jackson Lee took two F1600 wins but missed a third of the season and ended up fourth in the points, this coming as his Team USA scholar status meant he went to England to race in the National FF1600 finale and the end-of-year classics, with his best result of 10th coming in the FFord Festival final.

Joining him in making the flight across the pond was Maxwell Esterson, who took one F1600 win and was 14th in the WHT.^[1]^[2]
