The 33rd Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (officially titled "Nickelodeon's Kids’ Choice Awards 2020: Celebrate Together") was held virtually on May 2, 2020, and hosted by Victoria Justice. Asher Angel performed during the ceremony. It aired live on Nickelodeon and in a domestic simulcast with several other ViacomCBS cable networks, and tape delayed across all of Nickelodeon's international networks.

It was the first time the ceremony was held virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the smallest-scale ceremony since 1987, when the first ceremony—entitled The Big Ballot -- aired as part of the existing series Rated K: For Kids by Kids, and was made up of only pre-recorded award acceptances after balloting. Nickelodeon presented a $1 million donation to No Kid Hungry in support of children and families affected by the pandemic.[2][3]

In its originally planned form, the ceremony was to have been held at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Chance the Rapper was originally set to host, with Justin Bieber and Quavo performing their song "Intentions".[4][5] The ceremony was also originally scheduled to coincide with Nickelodeon's SlimeFest weekend of March 21 and March 22, airing on March 22, the first time it would have aired on a Sunday instead of its traditional Saturday night berth.[6] On March 7, the outdoor aspects of SlimeFest were postponed to a future date due to public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic,[7][8] before the network cancelled the event as a whole.[9] The ceremony itself was postponed four days later.[10] The original timeslot instead contained a "best-of" compilation special.[11][12]

The series finale of Henry Danger, "The Fate of Danger: Part II", was to originally serve as lead-in for the ceremony.[13] With the postponement, it instead aired alone on March 21.
