Finals series
The winner of each league competition (top of the table) in the NPL will compete in a single match knockout tournament to decide the National Premier Leagues Champion for 2020. Home advantage for the semi-finals and final is based on a formula relating to time of winning (normal time, extra time or penalties), goals scored and allowed, and yellow/red cards.[6] In addition, the winner will qualify for the 2021 FFA Cup Round of 32.
