The league format is basically the same.
As to whether spectators will be allowed to enter the stadium in the third and fourth stages, or even resume the home-and-away system, it is not yet possible to give a definite answer. However, if the full-season tournament adopts the group meeting system, the three districts of Haikou, Dalian and Meizhou will host the whole season in its entirety. Of course, the organizers will launch a back-up plan if one of the regions is unable to continue hosting the tournament due to force majeure factors such as epidemics or venues.
