The 2020–21 Israeli Premier League, also known as Ligat Tel Aviv Stock Exchange[3] for sponsorship reasons, was the 22nd season since its introduction in 1999 and the 79th season of top-tier football in Israel. The season began on 22 August 2020 and concluded on 30 May 2021.

Teams

A total of fourteen teams were competing in the league, including twelve sides from the 2019–20 season and two promoted teams from the 2019–20 Liga Leumit.

Maccabi Petah Tikva were promoted as the winners of the 2019–20 Liga Leumit. Bnei Sakhnin were promoted as the Runner-ups of the 2019–20 Liga Leumit. The two teams returned just one year after their relegation.

Hapoel Ra'anana and Sektzia Nes Tziona were relegated to the 2020–21 Liga Leumit after finishing the 2019–20 Israeli Premier League in the bottom two places.

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 13, but then postponed and played between rounds 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for round 16.
