The 2020–22 MENA Tour, titled as the 2020–22 MENA Tour by Arena for sponsorship reasons, was the ninth season of the MENA Tour.
In-season changes[edit]
The schedule initially included 11 events to be played in February, March and April. The first 5 events were played as scheduled but the remaining 6 were postponed until later in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually later cancelled. Following the strategic alliance formed with the Asian Tour in late 2021, four additional events were held in Thailand in May 2022, co-sanctioned with the Asian Development Tour.[1][2]
