Format changes

edit

The two clubs playing in the Israel Super Cup (Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva) will not take part in the group stage, while the remaining twelve clubs were divided into three groups of four clubs. At the end of the group stage the team with the best results of the group winners will qualify to the Finals. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play (in the 2020 Israel Super Cup match) for a place in the finals. All the clubs will participate in classification play-offs.

Group stage

edit

Groups were allocated according to geographic distribution of the clubs, with the northern clubs allocated to Group A, and the center clubs allocated to Group B and group C. Each club will play the other clubs once.

The matches are scheduled to start in August 2020.
