Southern Combination League
Season	2020–21
	← 2019–20 2021–22 →

The 2020–21 Southern Combination Football League season is the 96th in the history of the competition, which lies at levels 9 and 10 of the English football league system.[1] This season also marks 100 years since the league was first formed, with Eastbourne Town, Newhaven and Shoreham being the only teams still in the league to have played in the first season.

The club allocations for steps 5 and 6 were announced by The FA for the 2020–21 season on 21 July 2020[2] and remained unchanged after the 2019–19 season was abandoned on 26 March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3]

On 18 July 2020 the Football Association released a statement that football would provisionally start on 5 September 2020 subject to spectators being able to watch games. With the FA Cup qualifying rounds starting from 1 September as midweek games to bring it in line with a November start for the First Round proper.[4] League cup and the Sussex RUR Cup were cancelled this season with the main focus of the league being completed. Only the Sussex Senior Challenge Cup was to be played during the season.

Covid–19 Impact

The season was briefly paused between Thursday 5 November 2020 and 2 December 2020 as the UK Government imposed a 4 week lockdown on non-elite sports across England.[5] With the lockdown ending the Counties of Sussex and Surrey were placed in Tier 2 and clubs held a vote with the league whether to recommence the season. The league restarted with Division Two recommencing on Saturday 5 December and the Premier and Division One recommecing on Tuesday 8 December.

On Saturday 20 December, the UK Government announced that parts of the Sussex and Surrey would be placed in a new Tier, Tier 4. With Alfold, Bexhill United and Horley Town being in Tier 4 also players and fans living in the Tier 4 area not being allowed to travel the League decided to again pause the season on 22 December with a review whether to re-start the season on 9 January 2020 which later became suspended until further notice.[6]

Premier Division

The Premier Division consists of 20 clubs, the same as last season.

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored; 4) Number of matches won; 5) Head-to-head results[9] Second place automatically promoted if one of four clubs in step 5 have the highest points per game (PPG) or one off play-off with last place in step 4.[10]
Notes:

The 2nd-placed clubs from each of the Step 5 divisions (excluding those from the three northernmost divisions) will be ranked by their points-per-game (PPG) ratio. The four 2nd-placed clubs with the highest PPG will be automatically promoted to Step 4. The remaining seven 2nd-placed clubs will enter a play-off against one of the bottom-placed clubs from Step 4, with the winner entering Step 4 for 2021–22, and the loser entering Step 5.[8]
The 14 bottom-placed clubs from each of the Step 5 divisions will be ranked by their points-per-game (PPG) ratio. The two bottom-placed clubs with the highest PPG will be reprieved from relegation. The remaining 12 bottom-placed clubs will be relegated to Step 6.[8]
