The Swedish elitserien teams have decided to postpone the start of the season to 2 June (4 weeks) . There will be no quarter finals either. Other changes are an increase of number of transfer cards from 3 to 7 and the average floor limit has been powered to 8.000 from 8.500. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/lfxwak87i-21mi1/framflyttad-sasongsstart-och-nya-regler-i-bauhaus-ligan-i-speedway

There might be an announcements on Thursday on how the clubs aim to handle the Covid-19 situation. https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=86&artikel=7437052

No decision yet on how to handle the Covid-19 situation except that there won't be meetings run without spectators. Problems mentioned are also quarantine of riders / people that traveöl between countries. A rider cannot go ride in different countries if they have to spend a week in quarantine each time. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/p8omak806-21mi1/ess-vi-kommer-inte-att-kora-utan-publik

I haven't added them to the main post yet (May was far away in December). In the mean time fixtures are listed here:

Lejonen will use on their transfer cards to bring in Piotr Pawlicki after round 2.

Nothing officially decided yet but there are apparently plans that the 2021 Individual SM-final will be a part of "Sm-veckan" (Swedish championship week). Sm-veckan is a like a national mini olympics where lots of sports come together and have their Swedish championship in the same city during one week. SM-veckan 2021 is held at Linköping (Filbyterna's hometown) and if the plans become reality the speedway final would be shown live on SVT (Swedish equivalent of BBC).

Tomorrows Swedish final at Örnsköldsvik has been cancelled due to weather.

Construction retail store chain Bauhaus have bought the naming rights for Elitserien for 2020. The new league name will be BAUHAUS-ligan. https://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/52742/har-ar-nya-namnet-pa-elitserien-i-speedway/
