Format changes

Ashdod and Hapoel Be'er Sheva) will not take part in the group stage, while the remaining ten clubs were divided into two groups of five, at the end of the group stage each of the group winners will qualify to the semi-finals. Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv will play in the 2021 Israel Super Cup match for a place in one of the semi-finals (meeting the group winner with the least points accumulated), while F.C. Ashdod and Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play for a place in the other semi-final (meeting the group winner with the most points accumulated) . All clubs will participate in classification play-offs to determine their final positions.
