Season chronology

It was announced on February 20, 2020 on the show's official Twitter account that the season would premiere on June 5, 2020 on Showtime.[3] Following the cast announcement on May 8, 2020, producers announced that the show would air on VH1 instead of Showtime due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused "various scheduling and programming adjustments".[4]

The official trailer announced a change in the elimination rules: Unlike seasons 2, 3 and 4 of All Stars, each week a single challenge winner is named. The winning queen will lip sync for her legacy against a guest Lip Sync Assassin from a previous season; if the challenge winner wins the lip sync, she'll get the power to eliminate one of the queens in the bottom and win a $10,000 prize, and if the Assassin wins, the eliminated queen will be determined after a majority vote by the rest of the contestants, and the $10,000 prize will carry over to further episodes until a contestant wins the lip sync.

The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars receives a one year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.

This season is the first All Stars season since All Stars 1 to have an Untucked aftershow.
