^ Macclesfield Town deducted four points for failing to both pay their players' wages and to fulfil a fixture, reduced from six points after appeal.[7] [8] A further seven-point deduction was given for failing to play December's match against Plymouth Argyle .[9] A further two-point deduction was given for breaches of regulations over non-payment of wages.[10] On 3 July the EFL appealed against the independent disciplinary panel's sanctions on Macclesfield.[11] A further four points were deducted on 11 August 2020, resulting in Macclesfield Town being relegated.
