The EFL League Two 2019/20 was the 16th season of the English EFL League Two as the fourth highest English division behind the Premier League , the EFL Championship and the EFL League One as well as the 28th season of the third highest division of the English Football League after the introduction of the Premier League in 1992.
It started on August 3, 2018 and was originally supposed to end on April 25, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the EFL interrupted all three leagues on March 13, 2020 until April 3, 2020, on which day the season was ultimately canceled. At this time, the clubs had completed 36 and 37 league games. On May 15, 2020, the clubs voted that the table status would be determined using a point quotient. The play-off games were not canceled and were held in early July 2020.
