The ceremony was originally scheduled to take place in March,[4] but in December 2020 organizers announced that it was being pushed back to May,[5] before being pushed back to June, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[5]
The awards had initially been planned to take place as a conventional live gala in Toronto, Ontario, although due to the continued pandemic, these plans were cancelled; instead, the televised ceremony consisted of prerecorded or live performances by Canadian musicians at various venues throughout Canada, alongside acknowledgements of the already-announced winners and the presentation of just six top categories. Angeline Tetteh-Wayoe of CBC Music hosted the ceremony from Toronto's Rebel nightclub, although most award presenters and performances were broadcast from other remote locations.
The awards in most categories were presented in a pre-show event on June 4.[6] Before the main ceremony, Alessia Cara hosted a one-hour special called My Junos Moment, in which various Canadian artists were asked to share their reflections and reminiscences on their memorable moments at past Juno ceremonies.[7]
