Originally, the league was set to begin in October 2020 with 67 teams split across two tiers and four leagues. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 14 teams considered pulling out of the league before nine confirmed it was not financially viable to compete while supporters were not allowed into football grounds. The league decided not to penalise teams who chose to withdraw due to the pandemic and introduced proposals to have no promotion and relegation in the inaugural season.
On 11 January 2021 the league was suspended by the Scottish Football Association due to the escalating pandemic situation. On 17 March, the board declared the season null and void.
