The 2020–21 Midland Football League season was the 7th in the history of the Midland Football League, a football competition in England. The Midland League operates two divisions in the English football league system, the Premier Division at Step 5, and Division One at Step 6, and these two levels are covered by this article.
The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 for season 2020–21 were announced by The Football Association on 21 July, and were subject to appeal.
The 2020–21 season started in September and was suspended in December a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. The league season was subsequently abandoned on 24 February 2021.
The scheduled restructure of non-League took place at the end of the season, with new divisions added to the Combined Counties and United Counties Leagues at Step 5 for 2021-22, along with new a division in the Northern Premier League at step 4. Promotions from Steps 5 to 4 and 6 to 5 were based on points per game across all matches over the two cancelled seasons (2019-20 and 2020-21), while teams were promoted to Step 6 on the basis of a subjective application process. As a result, seven Midland League clubs were transferred to the expanded United Counties League's Premier divisions.
