The 2019–20 Valencia Club de Fútbol season season was the club's 100th in the club's history and their 85th in La Liga. The club had qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the second season in a row, entering in the group stage. Valencia failed to defend the Copa del Rey that they won the previous season, losing to Granada in the quarter-finals after entering at the round of 32. As a result of the Copa del Rey win, Valencia competed in the Spanish Super Cup for the first time since 2008.

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Head-to-head points; 3) Head-to-head goal difference; 4) Goal difference; 5) Goals scored; 6) Fair-play points (Note: Head-to-head record is used only after all the matches between the teams in question have been played)[28]
Notes:
  1. ^ The 2020 Copa del Rey Final was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain and could not be completed by the UEFA registration deadline of 3 August 2020, so the fifth- and sixth-placed teams in the 2019–20 La Liga, Villarreal and Real Sociedad, entered the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League at the group stage, and the seventh-placed team, Granada, entered at the second qualifying round.[27]
