The allocations for Steps 1 to 6 for season 2019–20 were announced by the FA on 19 May 2019.[1] These were subject to appeal, and the Hellenic's constitution was ratified at the league's AGM in June.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this season's competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the competition.[2] On 30 March 2020, sixty-six non-league clubs sent an open letter to the Football Association requesting that they reconsider their decision.[3]
