It’s official: the Climbing World Cup will begin on August 21 and 22, 2020 in Briançon. The French stage was initially scheduled for July 18 and 19. It was postponed by a month but should be able to meet the new dates. The competition will mark the start of a World Cup season completely reorganized by the International Climbing Federation (IFSC) due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

No trophies will be awarded at the end of the year.
