[9] League organizer PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) followed it up by announcing matchday four would be held on 1 October 2020 and the season would end on 28 February 2021, but with a note that this tentative schedule would need approval from authorities related to the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Organizers were prepared to hold all matches on the main island of Java, where most teams are based, to mitigate contagion risks.
Teams from outside Java and the capital Jakarta, which had the highest infection risks in the country, would be based in Yogyakarta, where the pandemic was relatively under control.
[10][11] In a 17 July 2020 meeting, all teams agreed on further details for the resumption plan, including increasing substitutions from three to five, in line with a proposal by FIFA to lessen the impact of fixture congestion.
After a month, on 29 October 2020, PSSI announced police had not changed their mind and declared the competition could not be held in 2020.
[14][15] In November 2020, LIB made another attempt to resume the 2020 season in February 2021 with a plan to finish in July 2021.
The new teams this season were Persik, Persita, and Persiraja, who replaced Badak Lampung, Kalteng Putra, and Semen Padang.
Notes: Additionally, SPECS made referee kits and also supplied the match ball, the Illuzion II.
