All statistics correct as of 11 March 2020. |
On 13 March 2020, the league was indefinitely suspended due to the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak[1] and later curtailed. On 21 March, Brora Rangers were awarded the title following a vote of the league's member clubs.[2] League positions were confirmed in August 2020 based on points per game in the curtailed season.[3]
The following teams changed division after the 2018–19 season.
Promoted to League Two
Following Cove's promotion, the league decided in May 2019 to play the 2019–20 season with 17 teams, rather than invite a new member to replace Cove.[4][5]
All grounds are equipped with floodlights as required by league regulations.
