??? made the straight drop back down to the Intermediate ranks when finishing bottom of the 2020 S.F.L. They were followed by ??? who lost their S.F.L. Relegation Playoff to ???, who in turn were then relegated after losing their SFL/IFL promotion/relegation playoff to ???. I.F.C. and I.F.L. champions ??? and I.F.L. runners-up ??? will also replace these relegated teams in 2021.
On 4 October 2020, ??? claimed their 8th S.F.C. crown and their first triumph since ??? when defeating ??? by ??? in the final at Healy Park.
The draw for the 2020 S.F.C. was made on 21 February 2020.

## Format

The championship has a straight knock out structure. The 16 teams that take part in the championship are the 16 teams in the Senior Football League (SFL). The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has effected relegation and promotion from the S.F.C. and I.F.C. in the following ways:
Relegation from SFC:
In 2020, it was decided that no club would be relegated from the S.F.C.
Promotion to SFC:
Two teams will be promoted to the S.F.C. for 2021, meaning that 18 teams will compete for the Tyrone S.F.C. in 2021. The I.F.C. champions and the I.F.L. champions will gain promotion to the top-flight.

## Team Changes

The following teams have changed division since the 2019 championship season.
