Lankan Cricket Club won the tournament in the previous season and were promoted to Tier A.[2] They were replaced in Tier B by Sri Lanka Ports Authority Cricket Club after their relegation from Tier A.[3] The league was expanded to twelve teams, with the addition of Kandy Customs Cricket Club, Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club and Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club.[3]
On 16 March 2020, Sri Lanka Cricket postponed the rest of the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] In July 2020, Sri Lanka Cricket announced that Tier A would resume on 14 July 2020.[5][6] The Tier B tournament never resumed and was cancelled in August 2020 after seven rounds of matches (of eleven planned rounds).[7]
