A total of 18 teams contest the league, including 14 sides from the 2019–20 season, 2 teams relegated from the 2019–20 Primeira Liga and 2 promoted from the 2019–20 Campeonato de Portugal.
Vitória de Setúbal and Desportivo das Aves (16th and 18th placed teams in 2019–20 Primeira Liga) were punished by the Portuguese Professional Football League for failing to produce valid licensing documentation with direct relegation to 2020–21 Campeonato de Portugal and, because of that, Cova da Piedade and Casa Pia (17th and 18th placed teams in 2019–20 LigaPro) were not relegated.[1][2]
