Promotion and relegation to remain in EFL if seasons are ended

Clubs will still be promoted and relegated from all three divisions of the English Football League (EFL) if seasos are ended because of the coronavirus pandemic,

Play-offs will also be played but with no more than four teams.

The EFL has said that 51% of clubs in all three divisions needed to agree for a campaign to be curtailed.

Clubs voted to end the League Two campaign immediately last week, also proposing that no team should be relegated to the National League.

However, with the EFL including relegation in its plans, it would mean that Stevenage will be relegated from League Two, while Swindon, Crewe and Plymouth would be automatically promoted to League One.

How the League One campaign will end is yet to be decided. Peterborough, Oxford, Sunderland, Fleetwood, Portsmouth and Ipswich have all said they want to complete their remaining fixtures, but they need another six clubs to support their decision if the season is to continue.
