The regular season was played as a round-robin tournament. A total of 16 teams participated, 13 of which competed in the league during the previous season, while the remaining three were promoted from the 2019–20 I liga. On 24 July 2020 Ekstraklasa SA and Polish Football Association announced the 2020–21 season calendar. The season started on 21 August 2020 and concluded on 16 May 2021. Due to the season start being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic it was shortened to 30 matchdays without a split into Championship and Relegation groups. Each team played a total of 30 matches, half at home and half away. After the 14th matchday the league went on a winter break between 21 December 2020 and 28 January 2021. 2020–21 was a transition season (only the team which took 16th position after the season was relegated to I liga) to extend Ekstraklasa from 16 to 18 teams starting with the 2021–22 season.^[6] During 2020–21 season a substitution limit increased from three to five.^[7] It was the fourth Ekstraklasa season to use VAR. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only 51 matches were played with a limited number of spectators. The rest of the matches (between 17 October 2020 and 15 May 2021) were played behind closed doors without any spectators.

The two clubs promoted from I liga were Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała, returning to Ekstraklasa after four years,^[8] as well as Stal Mielec, who made a return to Ekstraklasa after 24 years.^[9] After winning the I liga promotion play-offs, Warta Poznań also returned to Ekstraklasa after 25 years.^[10]

Legia Warsaw were the defending champions, and won their 15th title overall on 28 April after Raków Częstochowa drew 0–0 away to Jagiellonia Białystok with three games remaining.^[11] The season's runner-up was Raków Częstochowa, and the third-placed team was Pogoń Szczecin. The only relegated team this season was Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała.
