3月20日，东京奥组委揭晓了2020年东京奥运会火炬样式及奥运火炬大使，并披露奥运火炬在日本国内传递计划。

The torch to be used for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay has been designed with a cherry blossom motif – a flower close to the hearts of all Japanese people.
2020年东京奥运会火炬传递的火炬样式采用日本人民都钟爱的樱花形状。

火炬整体长度为71厘米，总重量约1.2公斤。火炬主要材质为铝材，采用了使用在新干线制造中的铝挤压工艺（the aluminium extrusion manufacturing technology used in the production of the shinkansen bullet train）。

制造火炬的铝材有30%来源于回收利用的铝材（recycled aluminium），此前用于建造2011年日本东部大地震后的预制房屋（originally used in the construction of prefabricated housing units）。

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic torch has been designed in the form of the Olympic flame. Five separate flames emerge from flower petals and come together as one at the centre of the torch to give off a more brilliant light – the 'Path of Hope'.
2020年东京奥运火炬设计成奥运之火的形式，5个花瓣中分别燃起5个火种，然后聚集在火炬中心形成更明亮的火光，即“希望之路”。

2020年东京奥运会火炬传递的主题正是 "Hope Lights Our Way" （希望照亮我们的道路）。

To coincide with the cherry blossom season in Japan, in March 2020 the Tokyo 2020 Olympic torch relay will begin and will be held over 121 days.
2020年东京奥运会火炬传递将于2020年3月开始，正好是日本的樱花季。火炬传递将历时121天。
Tokyo 2020 also announced the Olympic Torch Relay Ambassadors, who will promote the Relay to people all over the world. The list of Ambassadors includes three-time judo Olympic gold medallist Tadahiro Nomura, three-time Paralympian Aki Taguchi, actress Satomi Ishihara and comedy duo Sandwich Man.
同时，东京奥组委也宣布了奥运火炬传递大使，包括三届奥运会柔道冠军野村忠宏，三届残奥会选手田口亚希，演员石原里美以及喜剧二人组“三明治人”。这些大使将承担火炬传递在全球范围内的宣传工作。
