{{Infobox football league season |competition = The Football League |season = 1939–40 |winners = N/A (season abandoned) |prevseason = 1938–39 |nextseason = 1946–47 }}The abandoned 1939–40 season would have been the 48th season of The Football League. The kick-off in all divisions took place on Saturday 26 August 1939.[1] On Friday 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland. On Saturday 2 September 1939, all divisions of the Football League played their third game of the season. But these would be the last fixtures before abandonment following the British declaration of war on Germany on Sunday 3 September 1939. Large gatherings of crowds were suspended with the implementation of the Emergency Powers (Defence) Act 1939. Blackpool were leading the First Division when the season was abandoned.[2]League tables when season was abandonedThe tables below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation website[2] and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79, with home and away statistics separated.
