The 2019–20 Philadelphia Flyers season is the 53rd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[1] This is also the first season with head coach Alain Vigneault.

The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[4] The Flyers returned to the playoffs after missing them in the 2018–19 season and are scheduled to play in a round-robin tournament, which will determine the team's seed for the playoffs.
