The 2020 Swecon World RX of Sweden was the first and second round of the seventh season of the FIA World Rallycross Championship. The event was held at the Höljesbanan in the village of Höljes, Värmland.[1][2]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event, originally planned as a "traditionalal sixth round", later became the first double header (two races in a weekend) of season.
