The 2019–20 season was Kilmarnock's seventh season in the Premiership, and their 27th consecutive season in the top flight of Scottish football.

Kilmarnock also competed in UEFA competition for the first time in 18 years after finishing in third the previous season.{{cite web|title=Kilmarnock 2-1 Rangers: Steve Clarke's side finish third to qualify for Europe |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48242023|publisher=BBC Sport|date=19 May 2019|access-date=20 May 2019}}

Overview

Killie began the season managed by Angelo Alessio who joined the club on 16 June 2019 after former manager Steve Clarke was signed by the Scotland national football team.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/48655464 |title=Kilmarnock appoint Angelo Alessio as the club's new manager |work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=16 June 2019|access-date=16 June 2019}} On 28 June 2019, the club travelled to Spain for a pre-season training camp in Marbella as they prepared for their upcoming 2019–20 UEFA Europa League qualifiers.{{Cite news |title=Squad depart for Marbella training camp |url=http://www.kilmarnockfc.co.uk/Article?id=8882 |publisher=Kilmarnock FC |date=28 June 2019 |access-date=1 July 2019 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

The draw for the first qualifying round was held on 18 June 2019{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/draws/2020/2001146/|title=UEFA Europa League first qualifying round draw|publisher=UEFA}} with Kilmarnock drawn to face Welsh side Connah's Quay Nomads.{{cite web |url=https://spfl.co.uk/news/clubs-discover-euro-opponents |title=Clubs discover Euro opponents |work=spfl.co.uk |publisher=SPFL |date=18 June 2019 |access-date=1 July 2019}} The first leg was played in Wales on 11 July 2019 before Kilmarnock hosted the second leg on 18 July 2019. Connah's Quay's home ground, Deeside Stadium did not meet UEFA requirements so the game was instead played at Rhyl's home ground Belle Vue. Attempts had been made to play the game at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground in order to facilitate the expected number of supporters but the pitch works meant that wasn't possible.{{cite web |url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/connahs-quay-nomads-profiled-kilmarnock-16538158 |title=Connah's Quay Nomads profiled as Kilmarnock prepare for Europa League qualifier in Wales |work=dailyrecord.co.uk |publisher=Daily Record |date=18 June 2019 |access-date=1 July 2019}} After a 2–1 comeback win in Wales, Kilmarnock lost 2–0 at Rugby Park and were knocked out by the Welsh part-timers 3–2 on aggregate.{{Cite web|url=https://www.skysports.com/football/kilmarnock-vs-connahs-quay/report/409187|title=Europa League: Kilmarnock stunned by Connah's Quay Nomads}}

In January 2020, Kilmarnock entered the Scottish Cup in the fourth round where they defeated Queen's Park 6–0.
