EFL clubs have voted for an unweighted points per game system to be used if the 2019/20 season is curtailed.
The English Football League confirmed the agreement, which will also see promotions and relegations remain in place, on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, play-off matches will go ahead and will not be extended to more than four teams.
EFL chair Rick Parry said: “Whilst it has always remained the board’s position to play the remainder of the season where possible, the decision reached at today’s meeting follows a full and considered consultation period with our member clubs.
“The board has endeavoured to listen to all views and alternative approaches but understands that the decisions taken will not be met with universal satisfaction from all clubs.
“Today’s outcome ensures that the League and its clubs remains as faithful as possible to the previously agreed Regulations and that there is consistency in the approach adopted across the EFL in all divisions if required.
“It is clear that the challenges facing the League from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented and I thank the contribution of EFL clubs in making this important determination.”
EFL matches have been suspended since March 13 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Championship season is set to resume on June 20, while the fate surrounding League One and Two remains uncertain.
An announcement is expected to be made on England’s third and fourth tiers later today.
