Format

The new competition format consists of two stages.[2] In the first stage, the 20 clubs will be divided in two series (North and South) of 10 teams, according to geographic criteria. In each series, teams play against each other once in a single round-robin system.

In the second stage, the four best-placed teams of each of the Series advance to the championship group and remaining teams to the relegation series. On the championship group, all eight teams play against each other in a home-and-away double round-robin system, to decide the champions. On the relegation series (North and South), teams start with half the points they had on the first stage and play against each other in a home-and-away double round-robin system, the bottom two teams get relegated, and the 3rd and 4th-placed teams will play the relegation play-offs. The relegation play-offs are played home and away, and the losers are relegated.

First Stage

First Stage schedule was drawn on 28 August 2020 at FPF headquarters, and was originally set to be played from 27 September to 6 December 2020 but, due to restrictions imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal, was concluded on 13 January 2021. Clubs advancing to the Championship Group also qualify to the league cup.
