The 2020 Liga Dominicana de Fútbol was the sixth season of the LDF. This most important soccer tournament in the country, organized by the Dominican Soccer Federation Dominican Football Federation, was scheduled to begin in the second week of March, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] 10 teams participated in the competition. The tournament was in three phases (regular phase – liguilla phase – play-off phase).[2]

On September 24, the change of format to the group stage was announced, which began on October 9. It was scheduled to end on December 13.[citation needed]

The Liga Dominicana de Futbol tournament is made up of two parts:[3]

* 'Group stage:' A group stage system will be played divided into 2 circuits: 'North Circuit' and 'South Circuit' . Each team will play a total of 6 matches in their respective circuit in their own field and in the opposite field. The first place of each circuit will qualify directly to the semifinals, while the second and third place of each circuit will qualify for the playoffs.

## Competition system

[edit]

The order of classification of the teams will be determined in a general calculation table, as follows:

1. Higher number of points;
2. Greater goal difference in favor; in case of equality;
3. Higher number of goals scored; in case of equality;
4. Highest number of away goals scored; in case of equality;
5. Less amount of red cards received; in case of equality;
6. Less quantity of yellow cards received; in case of equality;
7. Draw.

* 'Final phase:' An elimination system will be played, in which the teams qualified to the repechage will play a single match, the winners will play against those directly qualified to the semifinals in two games, and the winners of this will play the Grand Final 'two-legged.
