2020 Vuelta a España is the 75th edition of the Vuelta a España, one of cycling’s three grand tours.
The race was originally scheduled to be held from 14 August to 6 September 2020. In April 2020, the 2020 Tour de France was rescheduled to run between the 29 August and 20 September, having been postponed in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. On 15 April, UCI announced that both the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta will take place in autumn after the 2020 UCI Road World Championships. On 5 May, UCI announced that the postponed Giro and the Vuelta will run between 3 and 25 October and between 20 October and 8 November, respectively. For the first time since 1985, the race will not be 21 stages long; instead, it will be held in a reduced format over 18 stages
