Effects of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Macau, the season's start was delayed until September.

On 3 September 2020, the Macau Football Association announced that the 2020 season would begin on 18 September 2020. [2] Teams will play a single round robin format and players are required to undergo nucleic acid testing prior to every match. If the season is delayed at any point due to an outbreak, the clubs have agreed to cancel the season so that the 2021 season can begin on time.

There will be no promotion or relegation for the season.
