The season is scheduled to start on September 19, 2020. Due to the corona pandemic , the previous season was canceled before the end of the main round. The play-offs did not take place. The first placed at the time SC DHfK Leipzig and Blau-Weiß 96 Schenefeld were allowed to move up. Since there were no relegated athletes ( BSV Roxel voluntarily went down) and all regional league players willing to move up were allowed to move up, 17 teams will take part in the league this year. In order to react quickly to possible game cancellations due to corona, the league will be divided into 3 seasons for the next three years.
