The 2020–21 Danish Women's League was the 47th season of the top-flight of the Danish Women's Football League.
Format The main round of the league is played in autumn as a double round-robin tournament between the 8 participating teams, where each team plays against each other both at home and away.
The six best placed teams qualify for spring championship play-offs. The finals consist once again of a double round-robin tournament among the six participating teams. The scores from the main league round carry over into the championship play-offs.
The two bottom ranked teams instead play in qualification play-offs, a double round-robin tournament with the top four teams of 2020–21 Danish Women's 1st Division for two spots in 2021–22 Danish Women's League. The scores from the main league round are not carried over into the qualification play-offs.
Teams There were 8 teams competing in the regular season of the league: the 6 teams from the previous season's championship play-offs, and the top 2 teams from the previous season's qualification play-offs. The two teams promoted from the qualification play-offs were AaB and HB Køge, winning promotion from the B-Liga, replacing relegated teams BSF and OdenseQ.
This was HB Køge's first season in the top-flight.
