The 2019–20 season was Crawley Town's 124th season in their history and their fifth consecutive season in League Two. The club finished 13th in League Two, whilst they also competed in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and EFL Trophy, where they were eliminated in the Second round, Fourth round and Group stage respectively. The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.

Season summary[]

The 2019–20 season saw Crawley Town compete in League Two for the fifth consecutive season.[4] Despite the club reaching the Fourth round of the EFL Cup,[5] their best performance in the competition,[6] manager Gabriele Cioffi left the club by mutual consent on 2 December 2019, with the club having won just once in their previous 11 matches with the club 17th in League Two.[7] Cioffi was replaced by former manager John Yems three days later on a deal until the end of the season.[8] Following an upturn in the club's form, with Crawley losing just 2 of their following 11 matches, Yems' contract was extended until the end of the 2022–23 season in late January 2020.[9] However, in March 2020, the League Two season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Crawley still having a further 9 games to play.[10] The season was later cancelled, with Crawley finishing 13th after clubs agreed to base the final table on points per game.[4][11]
