Notes:
- On 28 May 2019, FC Sakhalin Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk won the East zone of the Russian Professional Football League. As they have not applied for the FNL license, they will not be promoted and Baltika will not be relegated.[1]
- On 29 May 2019, FC Anzhi Makhachkala, which was relegated to FNL at the end of the 2018–19 Russian Premier League season, recalled their appeal to the Russian Football Union on earlier RFU's decision to deny them the FNL license. Therefore Anzhi will not play in the FNL in the 2019–20 season and Fakel will not be relegated.[2]
- Team folded after season and phoenix club joined the 2019-2020 Russian Professional Football League season. [3]
