All of the outlets will remain open while administrators attempt to sell the remaining assets.
On August 30, JJB announced a formal sale process but it has since failed to attract any buyers or investors.
KPMG administrators will now attempt to sell off the company's assets and brands.
Sports Direct is at the forefront of eight bidders to take over the stores and it is expected that owner, Mike Ashley will shut around half the sites if his bid is successful.
Over the administration period it will remain unclear as to which stores will be closed and how many jobs will be lost.
