On 28 January 2020, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Lithuania was placed into the first semi-final, originally planned to be held on 12 May 2020 but later cancelled, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.
