Race calendar[edit]
The schedule consisted of 20 races over 5 rounds. Prior to start of the season a non-championship Trophy Round was held in support of the 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. All rounds were held in the United Arab Emirates.[17]
The series was run as a winter series per FIA regulations, allowing drivers to participate in the UAE Championship and a European F4 series, both earning points towards an FIA Super Licence, as the end of this season was before the primary European F4 series were to begin their 2020 seasons. However, the championship would not award Super Licence points as not enough drivers were entered in the final round of the championship to meet the required threshold.
Championship standings[edit]
Points were awarded to the top 10 classified finishers in each race.
| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 25 | 18 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
