The 2019–20 Belgian First Amateur Division was the fourth season of the third-tier football league in Belgium. Mid-March all matches were temporarily postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium, only to be canceled permanently two weeks later, with the standing as of March 12th counting as final. As a result, Deinze was crowned champions and promoted to the 2020–21 Belgian First Division B.

Merger Châtelet merged with Royal Olympic Club de Charleroi-Marchienne to become R. Olympic Charleroi Châtelet Farciennes, known as Olympic Charleroi CF. Strictly speaking, the new club is a continuation of Royal Olympic Club de Charleroi-Marchienne rather than Châtelet, as the latter club has been dissolved.
