The 2019–20 season was Ergotelis' 90th season in existence and 13th overall in the second tier of the Greek football league system, as of this season restructured and founded as the Super League 2. The club also participated in the Greek Cup, entering the competition in the Fourth Round. The contents of this article cover club activities from 18 May 2019 until 30 June 2020.

Following a string of suspension periods due to lengthy and unfruitful negotiations of the Super League 2 board members with state broadcaster ERT,^[1] the season eventually began on 29 September 2019, with the club playing its last game on 9 March 2020. On 22 June 2020, following another lengthy suspension period due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Super League 2 clubs voted by an overwhelming majority to formally end the 2019/20 season, declaring the current league standings as final.^[2] As a result, Ergotelis finished in the seventh spot of the Table with 29 points.
