In the 2019/2020 season, the SEHA – Gazprom League will be played in a new playing system. There will be a total of 12 teams, that are going to be divided into two groups, Group A and Group B.

Each team is guaranteed to play a minimum of twelve matches in the 2019/2020 SEHA – Gazprom League season. 

Phase 1: Group Phase (September – December)
In the Group Phase, each team will play ten matches within their respective groups. Five matches will be played at home, and five matches away. The final position after the ten rounds will determine if a club will play in the Play off phase or if they will earn a direct placement to the Quarter finals phase. The teams that finish first or second in the groups, will proceed directly to the Quarter finals, while the teams that finish from third to sixth in their groups will participate in the Play off phase. 

Phase 2: Play off (February)
The Play off phase will be made up of two matches for each participating team, one match played at home and one match played away. The teams that finish the Group Phase in positions 3-6 will play in the Play off phase, in the following principle. The team that finishes 3rd in Group A (A3), will play against the team that finishes 6th in Group B (B6). The 4th team from Group A (A4), will play against the 5thfrom Group B (B5). Equally, the 3rd and 4th from Group B (B3, B4), will play versus the 5th and 6th from Group A (A5, A6). 

Therefore, the Play off pairings shall be: 
B6 – A3
B5 – A4

A6 – B3

The home court advantage will be held by teams A3, A4, B3 and B4, which means they will play the first match away, and the second Play off match at home.

Phase 3: Quarter finals (March)
There will be eight teams competing in the Quarter finals phase. Four teams will have earned a direct placement after the Group Phase, and four additional teams will have earned a Quarter finals spot through the Play off phase. The Quarter finals phase will be made up of two matches for each participating team, one played at home, and one played away.

The Quarter final pairings shall be as follows:
