Relegation to the National League
Source:
EFL Official Website Rules for classification: 1) Points per game; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored; 4) Head-to-head results; 5) Wins; 6) Away goals; 7) Penalty points (sec 9.5); 8) 12-point sending off offences
[15] (R) Relegated
Notes:
^ As a result of Bury 's expulsion from League One , only one team is relegated to maintain League Two at 24 teams.[8]
^ Macclesfield Town deducted four points for failing to both pay their players' wages and to fulfil a fixture, reduced from six points after appeal.[9] [10] A further seven-point deduction was given for failing to play December's match against Plymouth Argyle .[11] A further two-point deduction was given for breaches of regulations over non-payment of wages.[12] On 3 July the EFL appealed against the independent disciplinary panel's sanctions on Macclesfield.[13] A further four points were deducted on 11 August 2020, resulting in Macclesfield Town being relegated. Stevenage reprieved[14]
