Miss Teen USA 2020 was the 38th Miss Teen USA pageant. Originally scheduled to be held in spring 2020, the competition was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was later rescheduled for November 7, 2020, at the Exhibition Centre and the Soundstage at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.{{cite web|url=https://people.com/human-interest/2020-miss-usa-miss-teen-usa-competitions-graceland/|title=Miss USA, Miss Teen USA to Air from Graceland with Black Voices, Audience & COVID-19 Precautions|work=People|author=Goldstein, Joelle|date=August 31, 2020|accessdate=August 31, 2020}} Kaliegh Garris of Connecticut crowned Ki'ilani Arruda of Hawaii as her successor at the end of the event.{{Cite web|date=November 17, 2020|title=Hawaii’s Ki’ilani Arruda crowned Miss Teen USA 2020|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/08/us/miss-teen-usa-2020-winner-trnd/index.html|access-date=August 5, 2024|website=CNN News|language=en-US}} The competition was hosted by Allie LaForce and Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst.
