2020–21 Liga II

The 2020–21 Liga II (also known as 2020–21 Liga II Casa Pariurilor) will be the 81st season of the Liga II, the second tier of the Romanian football league system. A total of 23 teams will contest the league, instead of 20, due to the no relegation rule imposed in the previous season by the suspension of the league due to COVID-19 pandemic. It will be the fifth Liga II season with a single series.[1] The season will be played in a round-robin tournament. The first two teams will be promoted to Liga I at the end of the season and the third-placed team will play a play-off match against the 12th-placed team from Liga I. The last eight teams will be relegated to Liga III.
