On 13 March 2020 the season was temporarily suspended, before being indefinitely suspended on 3 April, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On 15 May, League Two clubs declared their intention to end the season at its current point with immediate effect, with the final table being determined on an unweighted points-per-game basis. The decision meant that Plymouth Argyle, along with champions Swindon Town and Crewe Alexandra would be promoted to League One for the following season.[2]
