The 2020–21 Combined Counties Football League season (known as the 2020–21 Cherry Red Records Combined Counties Football League for sponsorship reasons) will be the 43rd in the history of the Combined Counties Football League, a football competition in England. Teams are divided into two divisions; the Premier and the First.

The constitution was announced on 21 July 2020.[1]
After the abandonment of the previous season due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[2] the league's constitution remained largely unchanged, with the planned structural changes being put back to this season.
This season, the Premier Division champions will be promoted to Step 4. The runners-up in this division and ten other Step 5 divisions in other leagues will be ranked according to PPG (points per game), and the top four in that ranking will also be promoted. The remaining seven runners-up will compete in "winner takes all" play-offs with seven clubs finishing bottom in Step 4 leagues, the winners being placed at Step 4 and the losers at Step 5 for 2021–22.[3]
The bottom clubs in all 14 Step 5 divisions will be ranked according to PPG, and the 12 lowest-ranked clubs will be relegated to Step 6.
In Division One, the top four clubs will be promoted to Step 5, and the bottom two are liable to relegation to Step 7.
Delayed start and league suspension
The 2020–21 season started in September and was suspended on December 21 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.[4]
Premier Division
The Premier Division was reduced from 21 to 20 clubs after Balham transferred to the Southern Counties East League as they moved to groundshare with AFC Croydon Athletic.[1]
