Dates21 November 2020 – 27 March 2021

The 2020–21 East Super League (known as the McBookie.com East Superleague for sponsorship reasons) is the 19th season of the East Superleague, the top tier of league competition for SJFA East Region member clubs.

The league is split into North and South regional divisions, containing 17 and 13 teams respectively.[1] The winners of each division will play each other in a play-off to determine the overall champion. The start of the league season was delayed until November 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and games are being played behind closed doors due to Scottish Government restrictions. Lochee United continue as the reigning champions due to the previous season being declared null and void.[2]

On 7 January 2021 the East Region chose to suspend the season until 6 February, due to new restrictions in place because of the rising number of COVID-19 cases.[3]
