The 2020–21 season starts on 17 April and ends on 5 May. The number of participating teams increased to 16, including all the 12 teams from the 2019-20 First League season and additional 4 top teams promoted from the 2019-20 Second League season.[3] The 16 teams are divided in four groups of four teams.

The first two top teams of each group are qualified for quarterfinals in a single-elimination tournament.
