The 2020–21 Super League Football was the third season of Super League Football, the top Florian professional football league for association football clubs since replacing the Florian Premier League in 2018. Northcliff United were the defending champions having won all the previous editions of the league in the Super League Football era. The league operated a winter break in February with five games of a normal round of ten played on one weekend and the remaining five the following week.
The league featured twenty teams after Super League Football 2 merged with the main league to create two conferences of ten teams. This was the first season that teams didn't participate in the Florian League Cup after the tournament was scrapped at the end of the previous season and the first to have a postseason playoff tournament. To make player acquirement fairer between clubs, the league introduced a player draft for prospects who opted to go through the College system with the draft order determined by the reversal of the previous seasons league standings.
Teams
Twenty teams competed in the league - all the teams from the previous season and eight teams promoted from Super League Football 2.
