The 2020–21 Essex Senior Football League season is the 50th in the history of Essex Senior Football League, a football competition in England.
The allocations for Steps 5 and 6 for season 2020–21 were announced by the FA on 21 July, and are subject to appeal. The league comprises 18 teams, a drop of one from the previous aborted season, with Tower Hamlets having been relocated to the Southern Counties East League.
The 2020–21 season started in September and was suspended in Decembers a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The league season was subsequently abandoned.
Promotions, Relegation and Restructuring[]
The scheduled restructuring of non-league will take place at the end of the season, with new divisions to be added to the Combined Counties and the United Counties League at step 5 for 2021-22, along with new a division in the Northern Premier League at step 4. Promotions from step 5 to 4 will be based on points per game across all matches over the two cancelled seasons (2019-20 and 2020-21), while teams will be promoted into step 6 on the basis of a subjective application process.
