- Originally scheduled to be held on 5 September 2020 in Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America (USA), but due to the COVID-19 pandemic however it was rescheduled to 5 December 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The venue was later changed to Scottsdale, Arizona, USA due to COVID-19 restrictions on the capacity of audience attendance. This also lead to a massive decline in non-American residential competitors due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.[4] [5]
- This was the first Rising Phoenix World Championship to be demoted to the status as professional bodybuilding's 2nd most prestigious competition for female bodybuilding due to the restoration of the Ms. Olympia. Due to this change, it adopted a Ms. International style invitational application system, along with a Olympia Qualification System ranking on par with the Arnold Classic.
