2019–20 UAE Division one was the 44th Division one season. Team changes for the season include Al Bataeh who joined the league, while Hatta and Khor Fakkan was promoted to the UAE Pro League, while Dibba Al Fujairah and Emirates were relegated. However, the season was cancelled with 12 out of 14 UAE Pro League clubs voting in favour of cancelling the season and not a single division one club had a say on the matter. The decision was done due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Arab Emirates and no team were rewarded with promotion.{{Cite web|url = http://www.uaeproleague.ae/en/news/extraordinary-general-assembly-decisions-18062020.html7|title = PRESS STATEMANT|date = 18 June 2020|access-date = 19 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200621165534/https://www.uaeproleague.ae/en/news/extraordinary-general-assembly-decisions-18062020.html|archive-date=June 21, 2020|url-status = dead}}
