The 2019–20 Anaheim Ducks season was the 27th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 15, 1993.^[1] The Ducks missed the playoffs for consecutive seasons for the first time since the 2001–02 season.

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] This is the first time since the 2001–02 season that the Ducks missed the playoffs for consecutive years.
