Just Dance 2020 is a 2019 dance rhythm game developed and published by Ubisoft. It was unveiled on June 10, 2019, during its E3 press conference as the eleventh main installment of the series,[1] in celebration of the series' tenth anniversary, and released on November 5, 2019 for Nintendo Switch, Wii, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia.[2][3] It was also the first game in the series to be released on Stadia. The game was exclusively released on the Nintendo Switch in Japan on March 12, 2020,[4] and in China on December 24, 2020, in the latter of which the game is simply titled Just Dance.[5]

Just Dance 2020 is the final Wii video game released physically in North America. It was reported in 2020 that Nintendo of America was no longer able to physically distribute Wii video games in that region because some of its departments could no longer retrieve the necessary equipment to do so.[6] Consequently, this was the final video game in the main Just Dance series released on the Wii console, the platform where the series made its debut in 2009. By extension, this was the final Wii video game published by Ubisoft, the final Just Dance game released on a seventh-generation console, and the final Just Dance game available on a Nintendo optical disc.
