Английская Википедия:2020–21 Morecambe F.C. season
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football club season The 2020–21 season was Morecambe's 97th season since formation and their 14th consecutive season in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. It ended with the club being promoted to League One for the first time in their history, following playoff wins against Tranmere Rovers and, in the final, Newport County. They also competed in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and EFL Trophy.
The season was severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with all matches except the play-offs taking place behind closed doors.
Pre-season
Due to the late start to the season, and lack of preparation time, Morecambe's pre-season was limited to just three matches against Manchester United U23s, Workington and Everton U23s.
