The 2020–21 Hellenic Football League season was the 68th in the history of the Hellenic Football League, a football competition in England. The league operates a number of divisions, three of which were in the English football league system, the Premier Division at Step 5 and the two regionally split Divisions One, East and West, at Step 6.
The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 for season 2020–21 were announced by the FA on 21 July,[1] and were subject to appeal.
The 2020–21 season started in September and was suspended in December a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The league season was subsequently abandoned on 24 February 2021.[2]
The scheduled restructuring of non-League football took place at the end of the season, with new divisions added to the Combined Counties and the United Counties Leagues at Step 5 for 2021-22, along with an additional division in the Northern Premier League at Step 4.[3] Promotions from Steps 5 to 4 and 6 to 5 were based on points per game across all matches over the two cancelled seasons (2019-20 and 2020-21), while teams were promoted to Step 6 on the basis of a subjective application process. Consequently, the East and West divisions merged into one group for the next season.
