Heading into July, the Brooklyn Knights had climbed into first place in their division with a two game lead over the Dayton Grizzlies. By the All-Star break, however, the Grizzlies turned the tables on them and held a two game lead over the Knights. Brooklyn was inconsistent in July, posting a 12-12 record. By the end of the month, Dayton surged to a 5½ game division lead. The Grizzlies were 20-5 for the month, which included a 10 game winning streak and a 9 game winning streak. The Beasts and Maples had no problems staying in first place. Both teams widened their division leads. League 2 Division 2 is often a competitive division and 2020 is no exception. The Vancouver Wild overtook the Phoenix Rattlers in July and now hold a narrow half-game lead.
