The season was initially scheduled to begin on 25 October 2020 and end in May 2021.[1] Due to new restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Andorra, the start of the season was delayed.[2] The season began on 29 November 2020.[3] The league winner qualified to participate in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League.[4]

Inter Club d'Escaldes were the defending Primera Divisió champions.[5]
