Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of modifications were made to the Grand Prix structure. The competitors consisted only of skaters from the home country, skaters already training in the host nation, and skaters assigned to that event for geographic reasons.[1]

On October 19, the French Federation of Ice Sports and the ISU announced the cancellation of the event.[2]
