The COVID-19 pandemic will not stop the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards from being the most highly anticipated award show of the year.

This year's socially distant VMAs will be one of the first awards shows to not be held virtually. The show will be filmed live with "limited or no audience" with several outdoor performances taking place around New York City.
