The 2019–20 season was Wigan Athletic's 88th year in existence and their second consecutive season in the Championship. Along with competing in the league, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 22 July 2020.

On 1 July 2020, Wigan announced the club had gone into administration as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had taken a toll on its finances. The EFL handed a 12-point penalty to the club as a result.{{cite web|url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11682/12018794/wigan-enter-administration-efl-to-hand-club-12-point-penalty|title=Wigan enter administration; EFL to hand club 12-point penalty|website=Sky Sports|date=1 July 2020|access-date=1 July 2020}} This, however, did not put a halt to their run of good form and on 14 July, Wigan defeated Hull City 8–0, the biggest league win in the club's history.{{cite web|url=https://talksport.com/football/732390/wigan-hit-seven-past-hull-championship-fighting-relegation/|title=Wigan record biggest win in history after hitting EIGHT past relegation rivals Hull in extraordinary Championship clash|website=Talk Sport|date=14 July 2020|access-date=15 July 2020}} Despite losing just once in their last fifteen games, Wigan were relegated to League One due to the points deduction.
