The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was the 18th edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held on 29 November 2020 at the TVP headquarters in Warsaw, Poland, and presented by Ida Nowakowska, Małgorzata Tomaszewska, and Rafał Brzozowski. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP), which staged the event after winning the 2019 contest for Poland with the song "Superhero" by Viki Gabor. This was the first time the contest was held in the same country for two consecutive years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the competing performances were pre-recorded by the participating broadcasters remotely, under the supervision of the EBU under similar conditions, and the participating artists followed the event from their countries of origin.
Broadcasters from twelve countries participated in the contest, the smallest number of participants since 2013. Some countries cited the pandemic and its resulting travel restrictions as the reasons for their non-participation. Meanwhile, Germany participated for the first time.
