Where, when and how will it be held?

 

It will be hosted live from a studio in the Polish capital Warsaw on Sunday 29 November (Monday 30 Australian time).

​

The acts however will be performing from a studio in their home nation.

​

Martin Österdahl, the Contest’s Executive Supervisor explained the reason:

​

"Travel restrictions and the ongoing issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic mean regrettably we cannot bring all the artists to Poland to compete in person at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest this year."
