The 2019–20 season was Chelsea's 106th competitive season, 31st consecutive season in the top flight of English football, 28th consecutive season in the Premier League, and 114th year in existence as a football club.[2] The season was slated to cover the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, but due to the suspension of football due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was extended to 8 August 2020.

The season was the first since 2011–12 without Eden Hazard, who departed to Real Madrid.[3]

On 16 June 2019, manager Maurizio Sarri departed Chelsea, signing for Juventus.[4] On 4 July, former player Frank Lampard signed on a three-year contract, replacing Sarri as head coach.[5]
