2019–20 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season
The 2019–20 season was the 142nd year in the history of the English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club competed in the Premier League for the second consecutive season and also in European competition for this first time since 1980–81, having qualified for the UEFA Europa League through the previous season's 7th place league finish. This was their third campaign under head coach Nuno Espírito Santo.

As a result of the suspension of competitive football in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club were unable to play any games for several months after their Europa League tie on 12 March.[1] A restart of the Premier League was made on 17 June,[2] with Wolves returning to action three days later.[3]
The team repeated their 7th place finish of the previous Premier League season – with an improved points tally – but, as a result of Arsenal winning the FA Cup, this position was not sufficient to qualify for the Europa League again.[4] A top 6 position would only have been guaranteed with victory on the final day, but Wolves lost 0–2 at Chelsea.[5] Their European campaign lasted 383 days in total, ending at the quarter-final stage of a modified single-leg final tournament in Germany with defeat to Sevilla.[6] This was their best performance in a UEFA competition since reaching the inaugural UEFA Cup Final in 1972.
