Liga Gimel
Season2020–21

The 2020–21 Liga Gimel season is the 53rd season of fifth-tier football in Israel.

Format change[edit]

To accommodate the shortened schedule caused by COVID-19 pandemic, Divisions with more than 12 teams (Sharon, Tel Aviv, Central and South division) were divided into two sub-divisions. After completion of the league schedule the two top teams from each sub-division would qualify to a promotion group of four teams, with the winning team gaining promotion to Liga Bet and the second-placed team qualify to the promotion play-offs.[1] The bottom clubs played another round of matches between themselves.
