The 2019–20 National League season, known as the Vanarama National League for sponsorship reasons, was the fifth season under English football's new title of National League, the sixteenth season consisting of three divisions, and the forty-first season overall.[1]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National League suspended this season on 26 March 2020 until at least 3 April 2020. On 31 March 2020 the National League released a new update, stating this season would be suspended indefinitely until further notice.[2] On 22 April 2020, clubs voted to end the season, with promotions and relegations still "under careful consideration".[3]
