As part of the Phase II protocols, Championship and League One are now permitted to:

Expand non-contact training taking place on outdoor fields to include up to groups of ten
Allow coaches to provide technical instruction
Open weight room facilities
Expand player treatment beyond rehabilitative purposes

The USL Championship has set a provisional return to play date of July 11, while League One has a provisional return to play date of July 18.
