A total of 110 clubs initially entered the competition, reduced from 132 in 2019–20, mainly due to more teams joining the East of Scotland League and clubs that did not retain SJFA membership after moving to the West of Scotland League. Annbank United, Buckie Rovers, Spey Valley United and Pumpherston are not competing.
