2019–20 National League
The 2019–20 [|National League] season, known as the Vanarama National League for sponsorship reasons, was the fifth season under English football's new title of National League, the sixteenth season consisting of three divisions, and the forty-first season overall.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National League season was initially suspended on 16 March 2020 until at least 3 April 2020. On 31 March 2020, this suspension was extended indefinitely until further notice. On 22 April 2020, clubs voted to end the season, with promotions and relegations still "under careful consideration". Due to the knock-on effects of Bury F.C.'s expulsion from EFL League One at the start of the season, it had already been assumed prior to the pandemic that no more than one club instead of the usual two was to be relegated from the English Football League, and that no more than three clubs instead of the usual four were to be relegated from the National division. The cumulative effect that the early termination of the season and Bury's expulsion from the EFL will have on the composition of the National League's three divisions remains to be determined.
On 17 June 2020 Barrow, Wealdstone and King's Lynn Town were elected champions of their respective divisions after National League clubs voted to decide the final tables on a points-per-game basis. Barrow were therefore promoted to EFL League Two, with Wealdstone and King's Lynn Town promoted to the National League. Promotion play-offs will be held in all 3 divisions to decide the additional promotion places, with the semi-finals taking place over the final two weekends of July, and the finals will take place on 1 and 2 August. Clubs are expected to conduct and fund a COVID-19 prevention and testing process, and will be allowed to decline their place in the competition without penalty should they be unable to fulfil this requirement. On 1 July 2020, the Premier League committed £200,000 to the National League to help fund the conclusion of their season.
