Published on May 22, 2020, the English Football League has announced that promotion and relegation will continue to take place across its three divisions, even if the season is cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the EFL, a minimum of 51% of clubs in the Championship, League One, or League Two must agree to end the season for it to be curtailed.
With the League One season currently in limbo, the EFL's decision could pave the way for the campaign to be cancelled, with teams split over a resolution.
However, the EFL's new regulations still need to be voted on by all 71 clubs before they can be implemented.
While League One may follow League Two in being curtailed, the Championship is hoping to resume in June alongside the Premier League.
Players are set to return to training on Monday, but with strict protocols in place.
