In this paper, we study the time series models to forecast monthly Brent crude oil prices and the impact of COVID-19. Time series is a series of data obtained in chronological order. Future values of most of time series can be forecasted according to current and past values. The E-views software is a software package specifically designed to process time series data. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, a time series forecast method, can be achieved with the E-views software. Based on the E-views software, the forecast procedure with ARIMA model is illustrated in this work. Noting the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on it, the monthly cases are forecasted from 3-2016 to 2-2022. The results show that ARIMA(0,1,1) gave a better forecast for the data system.
