2020 NPSL season
The 2020 National Premier Soccer League season was part of the 108th season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the United States and the 18th season of the National Premier Soccer League. Miami FC, the defending league champions, left in the off-season and joined the National Independent Soccer Association and later the USL Championship.
On March 26, the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Changes from 2019
Multiple changes were made to the league's conferences ahead of the season. The Northeast Region was renamed to the "East Region." The Southeast Conference was moved from the South Region to the East Region and the Midwest Region's East Conference was renamed the “Rust Belt Conference.”A new conference, the Gulf Coast Conference, was announced on November 12, 2019. It would include new teams, mostly from the Gulf Coast Premier League, Jacksonville Armada U-23 from the Sunshine Conference, and the returning New Orleans Jesters.
