The 2019–20 season was the 139th season of competitive football by Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) with the team participating in the Scottish Premiership. Hearts played their fifth consecutive season in the top tier of Scottish football, having been promoted from the Scottish Championship at the end of the 2014–15 season.[5] They reached the Semi-final of the Scottish League Cup and reached the Final of the Scottish Cup.
On 13 March 2020 all SPFL leagues were indefinitely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] This led to league games being postponed until at least 30 April, and later the season being ended early, resulting in 12th placed Hearts being relegated to Scottish Championship.[7] Both Semi-finals of the Scottish Cup were postponed until later in the year – Hearts finished as runners up, losing to Celtic in the Final.[8]
