At the end of the group stage the team with the best results of the group winners will qualify to the Finals. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play (in the 2020 Israel Super Cup match) for a place in the finals. All the clubs will participate in classification play-offs.

Groups were allocated according to geographic distribution of the clubs, with the northern clubs allocated to Group A, and the center clubs allocated to Group B and group C. Each club will play the other clubs once.
