^ Known as Allianz Park until Allianz ended their sponsorship after the men's season ended on 24 October 2020. When Saracens announced a partnership with StoneX Group Inc. on 10 January 2021, the stadium was renamed.

Rule Changes

To reduce covid infection risk and close contact, several laws were introduced to reduce the number of scrums. These variations were reviewed after nine rounds and subsequently remained in place until the end of the season.^[8] These were:

Free kicks are awarded in place of a scrum for a knock-on or forward pass
Removal of the option for a scrum at a free kick or penalty
Scrums advantages were shortened
In a maul, the ball must be played at the first time of asking if the maul halts
A maul can only be formed from a lineout if it takes place within the 22 metre areas
No players who were not in the lineout may join the maul
Game time is reduced to 35 minutes per half
Water breaks at the midpoints of each half (players had to remain distanced)
