The revised competition is to comprise a single round-robin, followed by a split into two seeded sections, where each team plays teams in its section once, followed by a five-team finals series.[4] The NPL Premier normally qualifies for the national NPL finals series, but the 2020 National Premier Leagues finals series was cancelled in July.[5]
