Retrieved 17 May 2023
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the league was indefinitely suspended on 13 March 2020. The season was officially cancelled on 10 April 2020 following a decision made by the West Region Management Committee, due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and the Scottish Football Association's decision to extend the football shutdown until at least 10 June 2020. Defending champions Auchinleck Talbot were controversially awarded the title on 22 April 2020 on a 'points per game' metric despite sitting third in the table when the season was abandoned.
In April 2020, after prolonged negotiations, all clubs in membership of the West Region applied to join the newly formed West of Scotland Football League.
