Since multiple clubs were unable to complete their fixtures due to financial difficulties, the championship was withheld. Consequently, the Third Division was dissolved, not being re-established until the 1946–47 season.

Eight of the 16 clubs that competed in the unfinished season are now defunct; of the remainder, Forfar Athletic and Montrose play in the league as of 2025, with Brechin City, Leith Athletic, Mid-Annandale, Peebles Rovers, Royal Albert and Vale of Leven playing in lower levels.
