The 2020 New Caledonia Super Ligue is the 47th season of the New Caledonia Super Ligue, the top-flight football league in New Caledonia. The season started on 14 March 2020. However, it was suspended after the first round due to the COVID-19 pandemic.New Caledonia 2020, rsssf.org The season resumed on 11 July 2020 and would be extended to play until 2021. However, it ended in December 2020. Hienghène Sport are the defending champions.
On 7 November, under new direction, FCF suggested changing the format of the ongoing competition. Thus, it was agreed that the regular phase would end with 9 rounds and none of the teams would be relegated. And to define the champion and the classifieds for the OFC Champions League, it was adding a playoff among the top 4. The proposal was accepted before round 9 was held. It was also agreed that the 2021 edition will have 13 participating clubs. Because, in addition to the 10 participants in this edition (since no club has been demoted), the three promoted from the 2020 edition of the lower division will be included.
Teams A total of ten teams compete in the league: JS Baco Hienghène Sport AS Horizon Patho AS Kunié AS Lössi AS Magenta AS Mont-Dore SC Ne Drehu AS Tiga Sport AS Wetr
Trio Kedeigne and Wacaelé were relegated from last season, and were replaced by promoted teams Baco and Kunié.
