All statistics correct as of 1 February 2021.

The 2020–21 3. Liga is the 13th season of the 3. Liga. It began on 18 September 2020 and conclude on 22 May 2021.[1] The season was originally scheduled to begin on 24 July 2020 and conclude on 15 May 2021,[2] though this was delayed due to postponement of the previous season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The fixtures were announced on 20 August 2020.[3]

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Unlike other competitions organised by the DFB and DFL, the clubs of the 3. Liga initially voted to allow for only three substitutes during the 2020–21 season. Five substitutions were permitted in the 3. Liga at the end of the previous season to lessen the impact of fixture congestion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and competition organisers had the option to use the rule until 2021.[4] On 11 January 2021, the DFB Executive Committee approved the use of five substitutions for the second half of the season from 22 January (matchday 20 onward), following a secondary vote by the 20 clubs. However, the number of players permitted on the bench remained at seven. Rescheduled matches from the first half of the season (matchday 19 and earlier) will remain limited to three substitutions.[5]

1 Türkgücü München will play up to eight of their home matches at the Olympiastadion and the remainder at the Grünwalder Stadion.[6]
2 1. FC Saarbrücken played their home match against VfB Lübeck at the PSD Bank Arena in Frankfurt because their regular home stadium was rendered unusable due to snowfall.[7]
3 KFC Uerdingen will play their home matches at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf while their home stadium, the Grotenburg-Stadion in Krefeld, is being renovated.[8]
4 SC Verl will play their home matches at the Benteler-Arena since their home stadium, the Sportclub Arena in Verl, did not meet 3. Liga standards.[9] As only a limited number of spectators was permitted, the DFB allowed Verl to play three matches in their home stadium.[10]
