Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2020–21 Honduran Liga Nacional season was the 55th Honduran Liga Nacional edition since its establishment in 1965. The tournament started in September 2020 and is scheduled to end in mid 2021. The season was divided into two halves (Apertura and Clausura), each crowning one champion. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on association football, a new and more compact format is to be used.[1] The first stage was shortened from 18 to 14 weeks. The tournament was divided into two groups of five. The top teams of each group advanced directly to the semifinal round, and the teams finishing 2nd and 3rd from each group had to play a playoff round. At the end of the season, the three teams with the best record qualified to the 2021 CONCACAF League.
