This season saw the expansion of the league to 16 teams, who were selected through a vetting process.[2] All ten teams from the previous campaign were retained, including Najip FC who are now called BAKES FC.[3] Meanwhile, teams from the 2018-19 Brunei Premier League are DPMM FC II, Tabuan FC, BSRC FC, Panchor Murai FC and Rimba Star FC. Kuala Belait FC were also included as winners of the Belait District football tournament.[4] Shortly after the announcement of the teams, Lun Bawang FC was replaced by Jerudong FC.

On 13 March, the NFABD announced that the league would be suspended indefinitely, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On 19 September, NFABD announced the cancellation of the league.[6]
