While the season originally started with a full round robin format, due to the pandemic the league switched to four groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group qualifying to the champions round. APR won the title on goal difference over AS Kigali as both teams finished with 19 points out of a possible 21, with both teams drawing each other 1–1 on the second match day. Title celebrations were muted because of the pandemic.
Five teams were at risk of the last relegation spot on the final day of the season. Muhanga lost every single game in the relegation group and were relegated with matches to spare. Sunrise lost 2–1 to Gorilla FC on the final match day to be the final team relegated.
