Crewe are due to play Leeds United on Saturday 12 January 2008 with the return game at Elland Road on Saturday 23 February 2008.
Leeds United will appeal against the sanction imposed by the Football League and the case will be heard by a special meeting that will involve all of the league clubs.
"The Football League Board agreed that, notwithstanding the manner in which this administration has been conducted, the club should be permitted to continue in the Football League," said a statement.
"Consequently, the board has decided to make use of the 'exceptional circumstances' provision within the League's insolvency policy, for the first time, and agreed to transfer the club's share in The Football League to LeedsUnited 2007 Ltd. Accordingly, the club's share has now been transferred.
"However, it is acknowledged the club did go into administration and has been unable to comply with the terms of the League's well-established insolvency policy.
"As a result, the board determined this transfer of membership should be subject to Leeds United having a 15-point deduction applicable from the beginning of the 2007/08 season.
"Leeds subsequently have lodged an appeal against this sanction, which will be heard at a special meeting of all League clubs, to be arranged in due course."
