Miss Universe 2020 will be the 69th edition of the Miss Universe competition, to be held on May 16, 2021 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, United States. Contestants from 74 countries and territories are expected to compete. Seven contestants had been crowned prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the pandemic, numerous national pageants were postponed or canceled entirely, resulting in multiple former runners-up from previous national pageants being appointed for the 2020 edition, or casting processes being held instead.

On her personal Facebook page, Khanh Van announced that she had a negative test for Covid-19 and was busy participating in activities before entering the semi-finals and final rounds. Khanh Van's roommate is Francisca Luhong James - the Malaysian contestant. Since coming to the US, Khanh Van's image has appeared several times on Miss Universe's Instagram Story.
