On August 30, 2020, Graceland announced on their schedule that the competition would be held on November 9 on their premises in Memphis, Tennessee.{{cite web|url=https://www.graceland.com/calendar-of-events/event/missusa|title=MISS USA|publisher=Graceland|access-date=October 21, 2020|archive-date=October 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027105948/https://www.graceland.com/calendar-of-events/event/missusa|url-status=live}} The MUO later confirmed that the competition would be hosted at Graceland the following day. This was the first time since Miss USA 1983 that the state of Tennessee would be hosting the pageant.

=Hosts and performer=

On October 22, it was announced that the competition would be hosted by Akbar Gbaja-Biamila and Allie LaForce, while Cheslie Kryst and Christian Murphy would serve as backstage correspondents. Gbaja-Biamila is a commentator on American Ninja Warrior and former professional football player, while LaForce formerly was crowned Miss Teen USA 2005, and has worked as a sports reporter for Fox and Turner Sports.{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpx9swj3fH/|title=Meet Our Hosts|date=October 22, 2020|publisher=Miss USA}}

On the same day, American Idol alum Haley Reinhart was announced as the musical guest.{{efn|Although Haley Reinhart chose not to travel to Memphis for the final competition, but was pre-recorded from her home and sang Elvis Presley song "Can't Help Falling in Love" during the evening gown segment.}}{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpyFZlDUXW/|title=Meet Our Performer|date=October 22, 2020|publisher=Miss USA}}

=Selection of contestants=

Delegates from 50 states and the District of Columbia were selected in state pageants which began in September 2019 and concluded in February 2020. The first state pageant was Texas, held on September 1, 2019, while the final pageant was Kentucky, held on February 1, 2020. Nine of these delegates were former Miss Teen USA state winners, six of them were former Miss America state winners, one delegate was a former Miss America's Outstanding Teen state winner, and one was former Miss Earth United States winner who competed at Miss Earth 2017.

Rachel Slawson, Miss Utah USA 2020, became the first openly LGBT woman to compete in Miss USA; Slawson identifies herself as queer. One state titleholder was appointed as a replacement after the original titleholder was unable to compete. Katie Bozner, the original Miss Wyoming USA 2020, resigned three weeks before Miss USA 2020 due to her academic obligations in optometry school. She was replaced by Lexi Revelli, who was the first runner-up of the Miss Wyoming USA 2020 pageant.

=COVID-19 restrictions=

The pageant was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions implemented included an audience of only 300 spectators for both the preliminary and final competitions, and daily temperature checks, COVID-19 testing and social distancing measures for contestants and staff members. If a delegate tested positive from COVID-19, she would automatically withdraw from the competition, resulting in all of the delegates testing negative prior to arriving in Memphis. Other in-person events such as pre-pageant activities had been cancelled, including press briefings from pageant commentators.{{cite web|url=https://www.insideedition.com/how-this-years-miss-usa-contestants-are-adapting-amid-covid-19-62938|title=How This Year's Miss USA Contestants Are Adapting Amid COVID-19|work=Inside Edition|date=November 9, 2020|accessdate=April 3, 2021|archive-date=July 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210715035405/https://www.insideedition.com/how-this-years-miss-usa-contestants-are-adapting-amid-covid-19-62938|url-status=live}}

During the final competition, the top sixteen competed in swimsuit, and the top ten in evening gown. The top five format returned for the first time since Miss USA 2015, where the five finalists competed in two question rounds. The winner and her runners-up were determined by a panel of judges.
