The 42nd Félix Awards were held on November 1, 2020 to honour achievements in Quebec music.[1] The gala ceremony was hosted by Louis-José Houde, and televised by Ici Radio-Canada Télé.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the ceremony was conducted under social distancing protocols; in his opening monologue, Houde joked that when he agreed to host the ceremony for the fifteenth time, he did not know that it would be "a PowerPoint at the Sheraton".[2] Only nominees themselves were permitted in the theatre with no unnominated guests allowed, and were seated at tables spaced six feet apart; rather than winners coming up to the stage to accept their awards, the trophies were delivered directly to their tables by masked waiters.[2]
