The season is the first to be played after the previous season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia. The Basketball Federation of Serbia ruled that the 13 teams from the previous season will stay in the league and the three highest-placed clubs from Second League will be promoted. The first-placed team from the previous season, Borac, joins the ABA League.[1][2] Crvena zvezda mts is the defending champion.
The First League began on 25 September 2020.[3] The SuperLeague will start in May 2021.[4]
