Venues of the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics

The 2020 Summer Olympics, officially known as the "Games of the XXXII Olympiad", was an international multi-sport event held in Tokyo, Japan, from 23 July to 8 August 2021. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, it was postponed in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was held largely behind closed doors with no spectators permitted under the state of emergency.^[a] Despite being rescheduled for 2021, the event retains the Tokyo 2020 name for marketing and branding purposes.^[1]

The 2020 Summer Paralympics followed two weeks later between 25 August and 5 September 2021.
