Season summary

On 4 June 2020, International Entertainment Corporation (IEC) sold the club to a Hong Kong based consortium, Next Leader Fund (NLF).[1] A few weeks later, on 1 July 2020, Wigan announced the club had gone into administration. The story received national media attention; it was reported that Au Yeung Wai Kay, initially a minor shareholder of NLF, took full ownership of the club on 24 June, but on the same day withdrew all funding for the club, and approached Begbies Traynor about putting the club into administration.[2][3] Au Yeung released a statement claiming he had the "best intentions" when buying the club, and blamed the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for putting the club into administration.[4] Wigan MP Lisa Nandy criticised the English Football League (EFL) for approving the takeover, and called for a full inquiry.[5]

The EFL handed a 12-point penalty to the club as a result of entering administration.[6] This, however, did not put a halt to their run of good form and on 14 July, Wigan defeated Hull City 8–0, the biggest league win in the club's history.[7] Despite losing just once in their last fifteen games, Wigan were relegated to League One due to the points deduction. Shortly after the season finished, the club appealed unsuccessfully against the points deduction on the grounds of force majeure.[8]

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored; 4) Head-to-head results; 5) Wins; 6) Away goals; 7) Penalty points (sec 9.5); 8) 12-point sending off offences[42]
(R) Relegated
Notes:
  1. [a]
    As a result of Wigan Athletic entering administration, the club was subject to a 12-point deduction. In accordance with EFL regulations, the timing of the sporting sanction was only determined once final league placings in the Championship were determined. Since the club did not finish in the relegation places at the end of season, the sanction was applied to their 2019–20 total and final league standings were amended as appropriate.[41]
