Background
On 11 April 2019, it was confirmed by the Miss France Organisation that the 2020 edition of the Miss France competition will be held on 14 December 2019 at Le Dôme in Marseille.{{cite web|url=https://www.20minutes.fr/arts-stars/television/2494547-20190411-miss-france-2020-election-tiendrait-marseille|title=Miss France 2020: L'élection se tiendra à Marseille|date=11 April 2019|publisher=20minutes|language=French}}{{cite web|url=https://www.laprovence.com/article/societe/5534837/election-miss-france-2020-ce-sera-le-14-decembre-prochain-au-dome-de-marseille.html|title=Élection Miss France 2020 : ce sera le 14 décembre prochain au Dôme de Marseille|date=5 June 2019|language=French|publisher=La Provence}} While the overseas collectivities of Saint Martin-Saint Barthelemy and Saint Pierre and Miquelon typically alternate appearances at Miss France each year, Saint Pierre and Miquelon withdrew their participation due to a lack of local candidates; Saint Martin-Saint Barthélemy were thus invited in their place, allowing them to compete twice in a row.{{cite web|url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/culture/people/miss-france/miss-france-2020-saint-pierre-et-miquelon-annule-sa-participation-faute-de-candidates-6359329|title=Miss France 2020.

=Scoring=
== Preliminaries ==
A jury composed of partners (internal and external) of the Miss France Committee selected fifteen delegates during an interview that took place on 11 December to advance to the semifinals. This was the first time the amount of semifinalists increased from twelve to fifteen.
== Top fifteen ==
In the top fifteen, a 50/50 split vote between the official jury and voting public selected five delegates to advance to the top five. Each delegate was awarded an overall score of 1 to 15 from the jury and public, and the five delegates with the highest combined scores advanced to the top five. The girls with the sixth and seventh highest combined scores were afterwards designated as the fifth and sixth runners-up, respectively, despite not advancing in the competition.

On 19 September 2019, it was announced that the theme for the 2020 competition would be "The Misses' World Tour," with competition rounds inspired by international destinations.{{cite web|url=https://www.macommune.info/miss-france-2020-ouverture-de-la-billetterie-ce-vendredi/|title=Miss France 2020 : ouverture de la billetterie ce vendredi !|date=19 September 2019|publisher=Ma Commune|language=French}}{{cite web|url=https://www.laprovence.com/actu/en-direct/5681078/election-de-miss-france-2020-a-marseille-ouverture-de-la-billetterie-demain-a-12h.html|title=Élection de Miss France le 14 décembre au Dôme de Marseille : ouverture de la billetterie ce vendredi à 12h|publisher=La Provence|date=19 September 2019|language=French}} Finals night featured a performance by British singer Robbie Williams, making this his second time performing at Miss France after doing so at the 2010 competition.{{cite web|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/tv/miss-france-2020-robbie-williams-invite-d-honneur-15-11-2019-8193909.php|title=Miss France 2020 : Robbie Williams invité d'honneur|publisher=Le Parisien|language=French|date=15 November 2019|last=Poussel|first=Marie}} The thirty contestants were initially divided into three groups of ten, with each group taking part in an initial presentation round. The three presentation rounds were themed after travel to the United Kingdom and Cool Britannia, Russia, and Spain and bullfighters, respectively. Afterwards, the thirty contestants competed in the one-piece swimsuit round, inspired by travel to the United States and the Wild West, followed by an evening gown round themed after travel to Japan. After this, the top fifteen were announced. After the selection of the top fifteen, the semifinalists competed in a two-piece swimsuit round themed after their overseas trip to French Polynesia, featuring a guest appearance from Miss France 2019 Vaimalama Chaves. After the two-piece swimsuit round, the top five were announced. The top five then competed in a fashion presentation round, themed after travel to Africa.
