The 2019–20 EFL Trophy, known as the Leasing.com Trophy[a] for sponsorship reasons, was the 36th season in the history of the competition, a knock-out tournament for English football clubs in League One and League Two of the English football system, and also including 16 Premier League and Championship "Academy teams" with Category One status. Due to their financial crisis, Bury were expelled from the EFL and automatically eliminated from the competition as well.[1]
Portsmouth were the defending champions, and reached the final once again. Because, they were beaten on penalties by Salford City after a 0–0 draw. The final was held on March 13, 2021, having been delayed 11 months as the originally scheduled date of April 5, 2020 was just after suspension of English football due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participating clubs[]
- 48 clubs from League One and League Two.
- 16 invited Category One Academy teams.
