Team changes
The following teams have changed division since the 2018–19 season.
Column-generating template families
The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

† Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.

- ^ As a result of Bury's expulsion from League One, only one team is relegated to maintain League Two at 24 teams.[5]
- ^ Macclesfield Town deducted four points for failing to both pay their players' wages and to fulfil a fixture, reduced from six points after appeal.[6][7] A further seven-point deduction was given for failing to play December's match against Plymouth Argyle.[8] A further two-point deduction was given for breaches of regulations over non-payment of wages.[9] On 3 July the EFL appealed against the independent disciplinary panel's sanctions on Macclesfield.[10] A further four points were deducted on 11 August 2020, resulting in Macclesfield Town being relegated.
