The 2019–20 First Professional Football League, also known as Efbet League for sponsorship reasons,[8] is the 96th season of the top division of the Bulgarian football league system, the 71st since a league format was adopted for the national competition of A Group as a top tier of the pyramid, and also the 4th season of the First Professional Football League, which decides the Bulgarian champion. Ludogorets Razgrad were the defending champions after winning their 8th consecutive title in the previous season. On 21 June 2020 the team from Razgrad clinched its 9th championship with four games to spare after a 2:1 win home win over Beroe.[9] The season began in July 2019 and was scheduled to end in May 2020,[10] but will finish in July 2020.
After the possibility of playing matches without spectators was initially envisioned,[11] on 13 March 2020, the Bulgarian Football Union decided to suspend all fixtures until 13 April in accordance with the measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] On 3 April 2020, the state of national emergency was extended until 13 May 2020[13] and on 11 April the Minister of Youth and Sports Krasen Kralev confirmed that no mass participation sports events and full training sessions will be held until that date.[14] On 14 May, it was announced that footballers would be given the opportunity to train together over the course of the next three weeks, subject to the observance of strict rules and a gradual increase in the number of participants. The competitive matches resumed on 5 June (with the post-regular season phase – the championship and relegation rounds – shortened in half).[15] The expectations in mid May were that no fans would be allowed, but on 2 June a decree by Minister of Health Kiril Ananiev permitted the presence of spectators, subject to the restriction that no more than 30 % of the stadium capacity is occupied and social distancing in terms of seating is adhered to.[16] On 12 June, it was decided that since 15 June the stadiums could be filled up to 50 % capacity.[17] On 23 June, a requirement of no more than 1000 spectators per section of the stands was imposed.[18]
Teams
Fourteen teams are competing in the league – the top twelve teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from the Second League.[19]
Tsarsko Selo Sofia were promoted as champions of the 2018–19 Second League.[20] This will be their debut in the Bulgarian top tier. Tsarsko Selo replaces Vereya, who were disqualified for match-fixing, ending their 3-year stay in the Bulgarian top tier.[21][22]
The second team to be promoted was Arda, who earned promotion after winning their play-off match against Septemvri Sofia.[23] Arda's win meant that the team will make their first appearance in the Bulgarian top tier, while Septemvri ended their two-year stay in the First League.
