*AO Agrinio finished first, but were demoted for attempted bribery and thus the second, Aris Aitoliko were crowned champions.
** Due to the suspension of all the championships of the association due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Amvrakikos Loutro were crowned champion, simultaneously gaining the right to participate in the third national division of the following season. However, the interruption caused the reaction of Panagriniakos, because they were in first place in the standings one matchday before the interruption. He finished second, because Amvrakikos Loutro beat AO Chalkeia 3–0, who had withdrawn from the league, while Panagriniakos was defeated 1–0 by Apollon Atsikiou. Finally on August 19, with the preparation of the groups of the 3rd National Division for the 2020–2021 season by the EPO, it was also announced that the team of Panagriniakou will compete in the 3rd National Division, with the result that the prefecture of Etoloakarnania will be represented by 4 teams.
