Then International Motor Sports Association's (IMSA) president Scott Atherton confirmed the race was part of the schedule for the 2020 IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA SCC) in August 2019.[2] It was the seventh consecutive year it was part of the IMSA SCC. The Michelin GT Challenge at VIR was the fifth of eleven sports car races of 2020 by IMSA, and the fourth of seven races on the WeatherTech Sprint Cup.[3] The race was held at the Шаблон:Convert Virginia International Raceway on August 22, 2020.[4] Much like in previous years, the event was a GT only round, in which the GTLM and GTD classes were scheduled to compete.[5] Due to a clash with the Indianapolis 500, the event was moved from August 23, 2020, to August 22, 2020.[6]

Due to Virginia's COVID-19 gathering restrictions, fans were barred from attendance for the first time this season.[7] The previous three rounds had limited attendance, but the VIR round was the first to outright prevent any fans from entering the grounds. Patrick Pilet and Nick Tandy entered the race as defending champions, although only Tandy participated in the 2020 iteration.[8]

On August 14, 2020, IMSA released the latest technical bulleting, outlining the BoP for the race.[9] In GTLM, the BMW M8 GTE received a five kilogram weight reduction, while the Corvette and Porsche received 20 kilogram weight increases. The Porsche also received a five-liter fuel capacity increase. In GTD, the Audi received a 20 kilogram weight reduction, while the Lexus (which had won the previous three events) had 15 kilograms of ballast added to its total weight.

Before the race, Antonio García and Jordan Taylor led the GTLM Drivers' Championship with 130 points, ahead of Earl Bamber and Laurens Vanthoor with 120 points, and Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner with 117 points.[10] With 87 points, Jack Hawksworth led the GTD Drivers' Championship, 1 point ahead of Townsend Bell and Frankie Montecalvo in second followed by Aaron Telitz in third.[10] Chevrolet and Lexus were leading their respective Manufactures' Championships while Corvette Racing and AIM Vasser Sullivan each led their own Teams' Championships.[10]
