The 2020–21 Danish 1st Division (known as the NordicBet Liga for sponsorship purposes) marked the 25th season of the league operating as the second tier of Danish football and the 81st season overall under the 1st Division name. The league is governed by the Danish Football Association (DBU).

From this season a promotion round for the six best placed teams and a relegation round for the six lowest placed teams are introduced. The top two teams of the promotion round are promoted to the 2021–22 Danish Superliga. The teams in 11th and 12th places are relegated to the 2021–22 Danish 2nd Division.
