To accommodate the shortened schedule caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the league was split into two phases.
For the first phase each division was split to two sub-divisions with nine teams in each sub-division, to be played as a double round robin tournament (16 matches in total).
The seven bottom placed teams in each sub-division would continue in their respective sub-division with the points gained during the first phase, playing an additional round robin schedule (six matches in total).
[1] In the first round of the play-offs the two second-placed teams from the promotion groups (North section and South section) faced each other in a single match on neutral ground.
The losing team from each division faced the Liga Gimel play-off winner in a single match for a place in Liga Alef.
