The 2019–20 Azerbaijan Premier League was the 28th season of the Azerbaijan Premier League with Qarabağ being the defending champions. The season began on 16 August 2019,[1] before being prematurely ended on 19 June 2020.
On 13 March 2020, the Azerbaijan Premier League was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
On 19 June 2020, the AFFA announced that the Azerbaijan Premier League was officially ended without the resumption of the remaining matches due to the escalating situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in Azerbaijan. As a result, Qarabağ were crowned champions for the seventh season in a row, whilst also qualifying for the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League, with Neftçi, Keşla and Sumgayit qualifying for the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League.[3]
