The 2020 NHK Trophy was the sixth event in the 2020âÂÂ21 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, a senior-level international invitational competition series. It was held at Osaka Prefectural Kadoma Sports Center (Towa Pharmaceutical Ractab Dome) in Osaka, Japan on November 27âÂÂ29. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, and ice dance.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of modifications were made to the Grand Prix structure. The competitors consisted only of skaters from the home country, skaters already training in the host nation, and skaters assigned to that event for geographic reasons. As a result, there were no entrants for the pair skating segment of the competition.
The International Skating Union announced the preliminary assignments on October 1, 2020.
Mitsuki Sumoto withdrew prior to the short program due to a fever.
