Season summary
editThe 2019–20 season saw Crawley Town compete in League Two for the fifth consecutive season.[4] Despite the club reaching the fourth round of the EFL Cup,[5] their best performance in the competition,[6] manager Gabriele Cioffi left the club by mutual consent on 2 December 2019, with the club having won just once in their previous 11 matches with the club 17th in League Two.[7] Cioffi was replaced by former manager John Yems three days later on a deal until the end of the season.[8] Following an upturn in the club's form, with Crawley losing just 2 of their following 11 matches, Yems' contract was extended until the end of the 2022–23 season in late January 2020.[9] However, in March 2020, the League Two season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Crawley still having a further 9 games to play.[10] The season was later cancelled, with Crawley finishing 13th after clubs agreed to base the final table on points per game.[4][11]

Matches
editOn Thursday, 20 June 2019, the EFL League Two fixtures were revealed.[53]
On 13 March 2020, the EFL, alongside the FA announced the suspension of all domestic football until 3 April due to the rapidly developing COVID-19 pandemic.[54] On 3 April 2020, this suspension was extended indefinitely.[55]
On 15 May 2020, the clubs voted to end the season with immediate effect with the final table being determined on a points-per-game basis. No decision was made as to promotion and relegation. The play-offs would be played as normal. The decision meant Swindon Town would be crowned champions and would be joined by Crewe Alexandra and Plymouth Argyle in League One the following season.[56]
