• Mellish - promoted from Nott, Lincs & Derbyshire 1 (4th)
• Scunthorpe - relegated from Midlands 2 East (10th)
• Spalding - promoted from Nott, Lincs & Derbyshire 1 (runners up)
• Stewarts & Lloyds - relegated from Midlands 2 East (11th)
• Stoneygate - promoted from East Midlands/Leicestershire (runners up)
• West Bridgford - promoted from Nott, Lincs & Derbyshire 1 (3rd)

Midlands 2 East (North) and Midlands 2 East (South) were originally part of a single tier 7 division called Midlands East 1. Promotion was to Midlands 2 and relegation to Midlands East 2{{efn|Midlands East 2 is currently split into two regional divisions - Midlands 4 East (North) and Midlands 4 East (South).}}.

League restructuring by the RFU meant that Midlands 3 East (North) and Midlands 3 East (South) were renamed as Midlands 2 East (North) and Midlands 2 East (South), with both leagues remaining at tier 7. Promotion was now to Midlands 1 East (formerly Midlands 2 East) and relegation to Midlands 3 East (North) (formerly Midlands 4 East (North)).

The team with the superior league record has home advantage in the tie. At the end of the 2019–20 season the Midlands 2 East (South) teams have ten wins to the Midlands 2 East (North) teams eight; and the home team has won promotion on thirteen occasions compared to the away teams five.
