The 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards were held on 8 November 2020 at the Breakfast Television Centre in London. The ceremony was hosted by Little Mix, making them the first group ever to host; however, only three members -- Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, appeared;[1] Jesy Nelson did not participate due to health reasons.[2] In similar fashion to its American counterpart held earlier in August, the performances were filmed at various locations across Europe and the world due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The two-hour long show was broadcast in 180 countries.[3][4]

Lady Gaga was the most nominated artist with seven nominations to her name, followed by BTS and Justin Bieber with five each.[5] BTS was the most awarded act of the ceremony, claiming awards in four of the five categories they were nominated in.[6] Three new categories were introduced that year: Best Latin, Video for Good, and Best Virtual Live.[7]

Little Mix's performance was filmed in London and incorporated "augmented reality and a contortionist".[6] French DJ David Guetta held the premiere performance of his single "Let's Love" live from a pool at the Széchenyi Bath complex in Budapest, Hungary; British singer Raye featured in Sia's place. Both artists were "immersed in a waterfall" of laser lights.[6][10] English singer Yungblud wore a women's tennis outfit for his performance and assumed the role of "Cupid", flying around the venue of London's Roundhouse and pretending to "shoot arrows at unsuspecting lovers". After reuniting with his band on the ground, in a "giant red spikey inflatable", he ripped off his white skirt to reveal Union Jack shorts.[6][11]
