The 2019–20 season was Swansea City's 100th season in the English football league system, and their second season back in the Championship since 2010–11 following relegation from the Premier League in the 2017–18 season.[2] Along with competing in the Championship, the club competed in the FA Cup and EFL Cup losing in the third round of each respectively.

The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 but was extraordinarily extended to 30 July 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
