The Free European Song Contest 2020 was the first edition of the Free European Song Contest,[1] organised by the German television network ProSieben and the production company Brainpool TV.

It served as an alternative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which was planned to be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show was broadcast on 16 May 2020 at 20:15 CEST on the television channel ProSieben.

The programme was hosted by two presenters: the German television host Steven Gätjen and the Austrian singer Conchita Wurst, who won the Eurovision Song Contest 2014.
