The regular season was scheduled to begin on 29 February and to end on 4 October, but was postponed until 8 May due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 24 April 2020, the K League Federation confirmed that they would adopt a modified plan for the season, reducing the number of matchdays to 27 including five matchdays of each divided final league.

Sangju Sangmu and the lowest-placed team at the end of the season were relegated to the K League 2 for the 2021 season.

In this season, one additional spot for players from ASEAN countries was added regardless of the "3+1" foreign players rule.
