The 2019–20 season was the 23rd in the history of Spartan South Midlands Football League, a football competition in England.

The allocations for Steps 1 to 6 for season 2019–20 were announced by the FA on 19 May.[1] These were subject to appeal, and the Spartan South Midlands' constitution was ratified at the league's AGM on 22 June.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the season was formally cancelled on 26 March 2020, with all results from the being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the competition.[2] On 30 March 2020, sixty-six non-league clubs sent an open letter to the Football Association requesting that they reconsider their decision.[3]
