2020 Emilia Romagna and Rimini Riviera motorcycle Grand Prix

The 2020 Emilia Romagna and Rimini Riviera motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Gran Premio TISSOT dell'Emilia Romagna e della Riviera di Rimini) was the eighth round of the 2020 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season, the seventh round of the 2020 MotoGP World Championship and the fourth round of the 2020 MotoE World Cup. It was held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Misano Adriatico on 20 September 2020.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The opening rounds of the 2020 championship were heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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. However, the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix was not impacted by this change and kept its original date.

Organisers of the race signed a contract with Dorna Sports, the sport's commercial rights holder, to host a second round at the circuit on 20 September (a week after the first race) to be known as the "Emilia Romagna and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix". The race was named for Emilia Romagna, the region of Italy that the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli is located in. The race was also the third time in the sport's history that the same venue and circuit layout hosted back-to-back World Championship races.
