The 2020–21 season was the 114th in the history of the United Counties League, a football competition in England. The league operated two divisions in the English football league system, the Premier Division at Step 5 and Division One at Step 6, for the last time this season.
The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 for season 2020–21 were announced by the FA on 21 July 2020, and were subject to appeal.
The league season was subsequently abandoned on 24 February 2021 after COVID-19 lockdown-originated restrictions were imposed.
Promotion and restructuring The scheduled restructuring of non-league football took place at the end of the season, to include a new division that was added to the United Counties League at Step 5 for 2021–22. Promotions from Steps 5 to 4 and 6 to 5 were based on points per game across all matches over the two abandoned seasons (2019–20 and 2020–21), while teams were promoted to Step 6 on the basis of a subjective application process.
Premier Division
The Premier Division comprised 20 teams, the same set of teams which competed in the previous season's voided competition.
