The 2019–20 Bundesliga was the 78th season of the Bundesliga, Germany's premier field hockey league. It began on 7 September 2019 and it concluded with the championship final on 24 May 2019 in Mannheim.^[1]^[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the league was suspended on 13 March until 1 April 2020.^[3] The season returned on 2 September 2020 and was extended into 2021 with an extra round of matches.

For the 2019–20 season, the German Hockey Federation introduced a new format.^[4] The league was played by twelve teams grouped in two pools of six (Pool A and Pool B) based on the previous season's ranking. The teams of the same pool competed 2 times and faced the teams of the other pool once. The first four of each pool were qualified for the play-offs and the last two of each pool played the play-downs.

Uhlenhorst Mülheim are the two-time defending champions.^[5]
