2020–21 Slovak Extraliga season

After two seasons in Slovak Extraliga, the Hungarian team MAC Budapest left the league to participate in the Erste Liga. The reason for this decision was the uncertain financial situation, as the Hungarian government has suspended subsidies for sports clubs due to the coronavirus pandemic and MAC is also having difficulties finding other sponsors. ==Regular season==
