Notes:
  1. ^ As a result of Bury's expulsion from League One, only one team is relegated to maintain League Two at 24 teams.[9]
  2. ^ Macclesfield Town deducted four points for failing to both pay their players' wages and to fulfil a fixture, reduced from six points after appeal.[10][11] A further seven-point deduction was given for failing to play December's match against Plymouth Argyle.[12] A further two-point deduction was given for breaches of regulations over non-payment of wages.[13] On 3 July the EFL appealed against the independent disciplinary panel's sanctions on Macclesfield.[14] A further four points were deducted on 11 August 2020, resulting in Macclesfield Town being relegated. Stevenage reprieved[15]
