Following the 2018–19 season, the league structure was reorganised. Division 2 was regionalised into North and South regions, while Divisions 3 and 4 were merged to form 5 regional leagues.[1]
In March 2020, the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The league season finished immediately and there were no end-of-season playoffs.

- Liverpool deducted two points for failing to fulfil fixture against Solent Kestrels due to be played on 23 November 2019.[3]
- Following the cancellation of the season on 13 March 2020, it was decided that for games cancelled due to the early end to the season, the number of points on offer would be divided equally between the two teams involved (one point per team). This process applied to fixtures that were scheduled between 13 March (the date on which Basketball England suspended the playing season) and the end of the regular season. Games that were postponed before March 13 and had not been rearranged were voided. (zero points per team).[5]
