In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, MTV rebranded the show to MTV Unplugged at Home, as part of the network's #AloneTogether campaign, a social media initiative created to encourage the practice of social distancing among young people "in the hope of 'flattening the curve'" of the outbreak. It became an online series instead, with episodes released on MTV's YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, and featured a mix of local and international artists performing from their respective homes around the world.

  • Wyclef Jean – March 20. Jean was the first artist to perform under the new At Home format
  • JoJo – March 25
  • Yungblud – April 1, Los Angeles
  • Alessia Cara – April 3. Cara was the first artist featured after MTV announced the official launch of At Home as a livestreaming series earlier that same day.

  • Finneas O'Connell – April 10
  • Jewel – April 14

  • Fobia – October 2, Frontón Mexico in Mexico City. The band was the first to record under the concert-without-an-audience format for the show. The location of the performance was not disclosed at the time to avoid crowds outside the venue.

Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.
