    Brothers Union (BU): The Gopibagh-based outfit submitted their players' list two days after the deadline of the players' transfer, effectively violating the rules and losing their eligibility to stay in the top-flight football. Considering Brothers Union's contribution to the country's football, the players status committee of BFF decided to allow them to take part in the league. [8]
  • Additional venues

    Bangladesh Football Federation had stopped organizing matches outside the capital due to a nationwide lockdown due to the rapid rise in COVID-19 cases. From the twentieth round, Bir Sherestha Shaheed Shipahi Mostafa Kamal Stadium and from the twenty-first round, Bangladesh Army Stadium began to be used as the venue of the league to reduce the pressure on the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
