The 2019–20 season was the 122nd in the history of Northern Football League, a football competition in England. The allocations for Steps 1 to 6 for season 2019–20 were announced by the FA on 19 May.{{cite news |title=REVEALED: The provisional Step 1 to 6 Club Allocations for 2019-20 |access-date=20 May 2019 |url=https://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/latest-news/26976/revealed-step-1-to-6-club-allocations-2019-20/|publisher=The Non League Football Paper |date=19 May 2019 |ref=Issue 999}} These were subject to appeal, and the Northern League's constitution was ratified at the league's annual general meeting (AGM) on 15 June.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this season's competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the competition.{{cite web |title=Coronavirus: All football below National League to end |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52052351 |publisher=BBC Sport |access-date=26 March 2020}} On 30 March 2020, sixty-six non-league clubs sent an open letter to the Football Association requesting that they reconsider their decision.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52098137 |title=Sixty-six non-league clubs send open letter to FA over expunging season |work=BBC Sport |access-date=30 March 2020}} A legal appeal against the decision, funded by South Shields of the Northern Premier League, was dismissed later in June.{{cite web |title=South Shields: Legal challenge to steps three to seven season voiding dismissed |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52982782 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 June 2020}}
