Season overview
On 28 July 2020, the Football Association of Wales announced that this league would be named Ardal NW and would be sponsored by Lock Stock Self Storage. Ardal NE & Ardal NW divisions will make up the Ardal Northern region of Tier 3 in the men's Welsh domestic game.{{Cite web|url=http://www.faw.cymru/en/news/ardal-leagues-complete-domestic-pyramid-restructure/|title=FAW / Ardal Leagues complete domestic pyramid restructure|publisher=Football Association of Wales|date=28 July 2020}}
Since anti-COVID-19 restrictions were put in place by FAW., clubs could have trained in groups of 15 and contact training was allowed at all-levels of football. However, competitive and exhibition matches were still not allowed to take place.{{Cite web|url=http://www.tier3-north.co.uk/index.php/fp-news/238-faw-news|title=FAW NEWS|website=Ardal Northern}}
