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.
