The 2020 Summer Olympics is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to be held from 23 July to 8 August 2021 in Tokyo, Japan. Originally due to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the event was postponed in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and will not allow spectators from overseas.[3][4] Despite being rescheduled for 2021, the event retains the Tokyo 2020 name for marketing and branding purposes.[5] This is the first time that the Olympic Games have been postponed and rescheduled, rather than cancelled.
