League Two Play-Offs
Main article: 2020 English Football League play-offs § League Two

On 9 June 2020, League Two clubs voted by an overwhelming majority to curtail the 2019–20 season early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. It was announced the same day that the play-offs would still be played and that positions would be determined on a points per game (PPG) basis. This meant that Northampton Town finished 7th in the League Two table, thus occupying the final play-off spot.
