Eurovision Song Contest 2020 – das deutsche Finale live aus der Elbphilharmonie (English: The German final live from the Elbphilharmonie) was a one-off music competition in the Eurovision Song Contest format, organised and broadcast by the German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) for ARD. It served as a local 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 competition consisted of a pre-qualifying round on 9 May 2020 in the television show World Wide Wohnzimmer, presented by Dennis and Benjamin Wolter with the support of Peter Urban, and a final on 16 May 2020, hosted by Barbara Schöneberger. The pre-qualifying round was broadcast on the television channel One, while the final was broadcast on Das Erste. Both shows were made available for online streaming.
