Auckland City, who were leading the regular season table, were declared champions and regular season premiers, and qualified for the 2021 OFC Champions League together with Team Wellington, who were at second place in the regular season table.[2]
- ^ Tahiti (TAH): On 16 May 2020, the Tahitian Football Federation announced that the 2019–20 Tahiti Ligue 1 season had been concluded, with the remainder of the season cancelled, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in French Polynesia. Originally it was decided that the title would not be awarded, and the top three teams of the league table would play in a playoff, where the winners and runners-up would qualify for the 2021 OFC Champions League.[3] However, on 27 May 2020 following new consultation with the clubs, Pirae, who were leading the table, were declared champions, and qualified for the 2021 OFC Champions League together with Vénus, who were at second place.[4]
