Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The opening rounds of the 2020 championship have been heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Aragon Grand Prix, scheduled in the original calendar on October 4 as the sixteenth race of the season, was brought forward by a week following the initial postponement of the Thailand Grand Prix (later cancelled on July 31) on the first Sunday in October (the Thailand stage was initially scheduled for 22 March as the second leg of the championship). Several Grands Prix were cancelled or postponed after the aborted opening round in Qatar, prompting the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme to draft a new calendar. A new calendar based exclusively in Europe was announced on 11 June. The race in Aragon was placed on 18 October as the tenth GP of the season.

The race organizers signed a contract with Dorna Sports, owner of the commercial rights to the sport, to host a second round on the circuit on 25 October (one week after the first race) known as the "Teruel Grand Prix". The race was named for the Teruel province of the autonomous community of Aragon where the MotorLand Aragón is located. The race is the fourth time in the history of the sport that the same venue and circuit track have hosted consecutive World Championship races, and it is the second time it has taken place in Spain.

MotoGP Championship standings before the race

After the tenth round of the 2020 Aragon Grand Prix, Joan Mir became the new leader of the drivers' classification with 121 points, six more than the previous leader Fabio Quartararo, who in the previous race had closed out of the points zone. Third with 109 points Maverick Viñales, who overtook Andrea Dovizioso, now fourth with 106 points. Fifth is Takaaki Nakagami with 92 points.

In the manufacturers' standings, Yamaha leads with 183 points, followed by Ducati with 160 points. Suzuki is third with 143 points and has overtaken KTM, now fourth at 130. Honda is fifth at 112 points, while Aprilia closes the standings with 35 points.

In the team championship, Team Suzuki Ecstar surpasses Petronas Yamaha SRT with 206 points, with the Malaysian team now second by 4 points less from the leader. Ducati Team and Monster Energy Yamaha follow with 171 and 167 points respectively, and KTM Factory Racing with 144 points.
