Miss Teen USA 2020


Miss Teen USA 2020 will be the 38th Miss Teen USA pageant. The competition was initially scheduled in spring 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, it will be held until later in 2020, but no specific host yet. Kaliegh Garris of Connecticut will crown her successor at the end of the event.
The competition will mark the first year that a new crown made by luxury jeweler Mouawad will be used at Miss Teen USA, effectively retiring the Mikimoto Crown.
