The 2019–20 2. Frauen-Bundesliga was the 16th season of Germany's second-tier women's football league, and the second as a single-division league. The season began on 10 August 2019 and ended on 1 March 2020. The champions and runners-up were promoted to the Frauen-Bundesliga, while no teams were relegated to the Frauen-Regionalliga.[1]

The season was cancelled on 1 March 2020.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, on 8 March 2020 the Federal Minister of Health, Jens Spahn recommended cancelling events with more than 1,000 people.[2] On 13 March, the DFB announced that fixtures on matchday 17 (13–15 March) were postponed.[3] On 16 March, it was announced that the league was suspended until 19 April.[4] On 3 April, the suspension was extended until 30 April.[5] A decision on the resumption of the competition, similar to the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, took place at an extraordinary meeting of the DFB-Bundestag on 25 May 2020.[6] During that meeting, it was announced that the season would be cancelled with two teams getting promoted and none relegated.[7]
