The 2020 Meistriliiga (known as A. Le Coq Premium Liiga for sponsorship reasons[1]) is the 30th season of the Meistriliiga, the top Estonian league for association football clubs. The season began on 6 March 2020.[2] Flora are the defending champions.

The season went on break after the first round due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The league continued on 19 May 2020 without spectators.[4] Due to the long break, the number of games were reduced. Instead of the regular 36 rounds, the league will be split into two groups after the 27th round – Top 6 and Bottom 4, all play with each team in their group one more time. This means 32 games for the top 6 teams and 30 games for the bottom 4 teams.[5]

On matchday 18, Flora have been mathematically secured their place in top 6 and 2021 Meistriliiga. On matchday 20, Paide Linnameeskond have been mathematically secured that they will not be regulated directly.

Teams

Ten teams compete in the league, nine sides from the 2019 season and 2019 Esiliiga champions TJK Legion. Legion made their debut in the top tier after consecutive promotions from fourth tier in three seasons.[6] Maardu Linnameeskond were relegated at the end of the 2019 season after finishing in the bottom of the table. Kuressaare retained their Meistriliiga spot after winning a relegation play-off against Esiliiga runners-up Vaprus.[7]
