The 27th Universal Postal Congress was scheduled to take place in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, from 10 to 28 August 2020.

Due to the global spread of COVID-19, the UPU and the Government of Côte d'Ivoire have decided to postpone the Congress. New dates will be proposed once it is felt that the event can be held safely.
