A total of eight teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2000 eligible to participate. Starting from this season, up to five substitutions are permitted per team in each match.
Similar to the previous editions held in odd-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The top four teams of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Costa Rica as the UEFA representatives. However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.
France defeated Germany 2–1 in the final to claim its fifth title. Spain were the defending champions, but lost 1–3 to France in the semi-finals after extra-time.
