The 48th International Emmys Awards took place on November 23, 2020, in New York City.

The International Academy presented 1 Special Award and 12 Emmys across 11 categories, due to a tie in the Non-English Language U.S. Primetime category. [4] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the awards were held virtually for the first time in the history of International Emmys. [5]
