2019–20 Hellenic Football League

Hellenic League
Season	2019–20
	← 2018–19 2020–21 →

The 2019–20 Hellenic Football League season was the 67th in the history of the Hellenic 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 2019.^[1] These were subject to appeal, and the Hellenic's constitution was ratified at the league's AGM in June.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this season's competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season 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]

Premier Division[]

At the end of the 2018–19 season, three teams left the division:

Abingdon United: relegated to Division One East
Ascot United: transferred to the Combined Counties League
Wantage Town: promoted to Southern League Division One Central

The remaining 16 teams, together with the following, will form the Premier Division for 2019–20:

Burnham: promoted from Division One East
Easington Sports: promoted from Division One West
Westfields: transferred from the Midland League

Chipping Sodbury Town were initially transferred from the Western League to the Hellenic League, however this was reversed on appeal on 11 June.
