2020–21 Slovak Extraliga season

After two seasons in Slovak Extraliga, the Hungarian team MAC Budapest left the league to participate in the Erste Liga.{{Cite web|url=https://sport24.pluska.sk/hokej/slovensko/mac-budapest-nebude-posobit-tipsport-lige-klub-to-nema-peniaze|title=MAC Budapešť končí v Tipsport lige: Klub na to nemá peniaze! Lintner prezradil, čo s Miškovcom|language=Slovak|work=sport24.pluska.sk}} The reason for this decision was the uncertain financial situation, as the Hungarian government has suspended subsidies for sports clubs due to the coronavirus pandemic and MAC is also having difficulties finding other sponsors.

Each team played 50 games: playing each of the other eleven teams four times – 2x at home, 2x away (44 games) and during the Christmas holidays (22.12.2020 – 6.1.2021) each team played the inserted matches within the region 1x at home, 1x away = 6 games.

Points were awarded for each game, where three points were awarded for winning in regulation time, two points for winning in overtime or shootout, one point for losing in overtime or shootout, and zero points for losing in regulation time. At the end of the regular season, the team that finished with the most points was crowned the league champion.
