In late January, race organisers postponed the Tour de Langkawi, originally scheduled for 3–10 March, to 11–18 June, due to a surge in COVID-19 pandemic cases. It was postponed again, to mid-October, due to time conflicts with other cycling championships.

After the race, the UCI received complains from five teams of non-payments of appearance fees and flight tickets from the race organiser.
