The 1999–2000 season was Real Madrid's 69th season in La Liga. This article lists all matches that the club played in the 1999–2000 season, and also shows statistics of the club's players.
Summary John Toshack was sacked by Real Madrid on 17 November 1999 as a consequence of league's bad form even after a 3–2 victory against Rayo Vallecano which they were trailing 2–0 during halftime and could only turn the game around through a spectacular second half that left them in eighth position. Real Madrid re-hired their legendary defensive midfielder in the 1970s Vicente del Bosque who previously only managed the club in 1994 and 1996 as a caretaker only.
This season marked the start of the Del Bosque era of trophy winning at the club, having taken over from Toshack early in the campaign. The squad was also largely different from the previous squad, with the arrival of Steve McManaman (Liverpool) and Nicolas Anelka (Arsenal) from the English Premier League respectively, as well as local talents Míchel Salgado and Iván Helguera, to support the budding young talent of Raúl, Iker Casillas, Fernando Morientes, and Guti, as well as veterans such as Fernando Hierro and Roberto Carlos.
As of 2025, this was the last season in which Real Madrid finished outside the top four in La Liga.
