The 2020 X League campaign will kick off on Saturday, nearly two months later than usual, with teams playing under exceptional regulations this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The season will start with two contests, one of which is a matchup between the four-time defending champion Fujitsu Frontiers and Nojima Sagamihara Rise at Fujitsu Stadium Kawasaki.
Eight clubs contested the top division known as “X1 Super” last season, but just seven teams will square off this year after the All-Mitsubishi Lions withdrew from the competition.
