The 2019–20 was the league's fifteenth since its inception in 2005, and the 43rd season of top-flight association football in Australia. Eleven teams competed and each team played a total of 26 matches, resulting in an uneven fixture that involved some clubs meeting three times and others meeting only twice. This was due to the introduction of the west-Melbourne-based club Western United FC. The top six teams qualified for the finals series, which was played as a straight-knockout competition, with the top two teams earning an automatic place in the semi-finals and the bottom four teams playing off in elimination finals. The two winners of the semi-finals met in the grand final. Due to travel restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all matches were played in the state of New South Wales.[2]

Attendance

Most A-League matches played after the season's resumption in mid-July were played behind closed doors, with others played before limited crowds in size due to COVID-19 restrictions imposed on sporting events by the New South Wales Government. It is not yet known if a crowd will be permitted for the Grand Final or if any restrictions on the size of such a crowd will be in force.
