Format

Sixteen teams are divided into 2 groups of 8 teams each (Groups A and B). Each plays the others from its own group twice, home and away, for a total of 14 games each, over 14 game weeks. Teams in places 1-4 of each group qualify for Premier Group where the first two teams were promoted to the First Division, and the rest for Standard Group where the last four teams would be relegated to the Third Division - however due to the pandemic, no teams were relegated this season.[5]
