2020 Bhutan Premier League

The 2020 Bhutan Premier League was the ninth season of the unified league, rebranded as the Bhutan Premier League since 2019 (previously the Bhutan National League), the top national football competition in Bhutan, having replaced the A-Division in 2013.

The Bhutan Football Federation implemented the same league structure as in the 2019 season. The top division was named Bhutan Premier League (BPL). The other division was named Bhutan Super League (BSL), replacing Thimphu League as a qualifying competition for the Premier League. The lowest division was named Dzongkhag League where teams played in their respective districts (Dzongkhags) to gain promotion to the Super League.
