- ^ Matchday 17 between Mizusawa Club and Maritime Self-Defense Force Hachinohe was not played, and the record was 0-0 and neither team added one point.
- ^ Since two teams from Division 1 are normally relegated to the Division 2 North/South, the number of relegation spots to the provincial league was increased from 3 to 4. Iwaki FC was promoted to the JFL and the relegation of teams from Division 1 to Division 2 was reduced from 2 to 1, so the relegation quota to the prefectural league returned to 3 again, but due to the decline of promotion of the top teams of Akita Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture League, and the withdrawal of Akita University School of Medicine, North Asia University FC, and Iwate Club from the league, Gonohe SC remained in Division 2 North, making 8 teams qualifying to play in this league for 2020 season.
