Since anti-COVID-19 restrictions were put in place by FAW, as from Monday 10 August 2020, clubs could have trained in groups of 15 and contact training was allowed at all-levels of football. However, competitive and exhibition matches were still not allowed to take place. The FAW eventually cancelled the 2020–21 season on 18 March 2021 because Cymru North and South did not have their Elite Status designation reinstated by the National Sport Group.
