Private virtual methods cannot be override because the private methods in the inherited class can't be accessed.It is possible to override protected virtual methods.

public class Demo{
protected virtual void DemoMethod() { }
}
public class Demo2 : Demo
{
protected override void DemoMethod() { }
}

No, that's not possible.

A derived class cannot access private members in its base class and cannot therefore override a private virtual method.
