Troubled Coca-Cola League Two side Luton Townwill start the new season with a 30-point deduction.
The Hatters, who had ten points deducted earlier in the summer after breaching Football Association regulations over agents fees, have had an extra 20 taken away today by the Football League.
Luton were hit with the latest penalty after applying to come out of administration, but the League have confirmed they will have to face the deduction before the campaign kicks off.
The Hatters went into administration in November last year and were deducted ten points as a result, and eventually finished bottom of League One last season.
The 2020 group have agreed a takeover package for the club, but they were unable to agree a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) with the club's creditors, and the Football League Board have now decided they must face the deduction.
Leeds United were deducted 15 points from their League One tally last season.
