Bloemendaal were the defending champions, having won the 2018–19 season by defeating Kampong in the championship final.[4]

The KNHB decided there will be no relegation and promotion and there won't be a champion. The assignment of the places for the 2021 Euro Hockey League depended on the proceeding of the 2019–20 Euro Hockey League. Bloemendaal was the only team who was qualified regardless.[3]
