The season was declared cancelled and all league results expunged on the 26th March due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The last match to take place was a 4-2 defeat at West Bromwich Albion on the 15th March. The Women's FA Cup is still hoped to be completed so the 4th round loss to Ipswich Town remains a club record attendance.
Manager Ashley Vickers departed the club on the 19th March and Jordan Wimpenny was appointed on the 23rd March 2020.
