The 2020 LNFA season is the 26th season of American football in Spain.
Badalona Dracs are the defending champions.
Competition format For the 2020 season, ten teams joined the league. Valencia Firebats and Granada Lions resigned to their place, while L'Hospitalet Pioners replaced Santiago Black Ravens, relegated from the previous season.
The teams were divided into two groups of five, according to geographical criteria. All teams play ten games during the regular season: two games (home and away) against each other team in their group, plus two inter-group games (against one team of each other group).
At the end of the regular season, the best three teams in each group qualify for the playoffs. Final position in the aggregate table will determine seeding for the playoffs.
