* Blackpool suffered a 2 point deduction in the 1982/83 season for fielding an illegible player - full story.

** The 2019/20 season ended early because of the coronavirus pandemic with the last League 1 matches being played on Tuesday March 10th. A points per game (PPG) system was then used to decide final League placings - Blackpool finished 13th using both the PPG system and the traditional points system.
