Ligue Inter Régions

Main article: 2020–21 Algerian Ligue Inter Régions

Following the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic in Algeria, hence the hierarchy of football levels in Algeria has been modified. The 84 participants are divided into six poles composed of regional subgroups comprising 8 clubs each (except the south-west pole), in a round-trip championship then support matches to designate the six promoted.

At the end of this competition, the two winners of each subgroup of each pole will face each other in a play-off match (playoff round), in order to determine the six clubs that are promoted to D2A. The terms of relegation to Regional I will be as follows:

If among the 12 clubs that will be relegated from Ligue 2 we will include CR Beni Thour (club making up the south-east pole), the clubs ranked badly in 8th place in the 2 subgroups of the 2 south-east and south-west poles will be relegated to the lower division, as well as the seven badly ranked in 8th place in the rest of the 8 subgroups of the 4 northern poles.

If CR Beni Thour is not among the 12 clubs that will be relegated from Ligue 2, the clubs ranked poorly in 8th place in the 2 subgroups of the 2 south-east and south-west poles will be relegated to the lower division, as well as the clubs ranked poorly in 8th place in the rest of the 8 subgroups of the 4 northern poles.
