During their State of the League press conference on January 24, 2020, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly stated that the league is considering changing the All-Star Game format so it has a "distinct international flavor", using a model similar to the World Cup of Hockey.[2] The four-team, 3-on-3, single elimination format, with one team representing each of the league's four divisions, had been used for the past five All-Star Games.

The All-Star Game and Skills Competition will be televised in the United States by NBC and NBCSN, respectively, during NBC Sports' tenth and last season under its current NHL broadcasting contract. In Canada, both the All-Star Game and skills competition will be broadcast in English on both CBC and Sportsnet, and on TVA Sports in French.
