The 2020–21 Ardal NW season (also known as the 2020–21 Lock Stock Ardal NW season for sponsorship reasons) was to be the first season of the new third-tier northern region football in Welsh football pyramid, part of the Ardal Leagues. Teams were to play each other twice on a home and away basis.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, the Football Association of Wales cancelled the 2020–21 seasons of the Ardal Leagues and below.[1]

Season overview

[edit]

On 28 July 2020, the Football Association of Wales announced that this league would be named Ardal NW and would be sponsored by Lock Stock Self Storage. Ardal NE & Ardal NW divisions will make up the Ardal Northern region of Tier 3 in the men's Welsh domestic game.[2]
Since anti-COVID-19 restrictions were put in place by FAW., 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.[3]
