The 2019–20 Ligue Magnus season was the 99th season of the Ligue Magnus, the top level of ice hockey in France. The regular season ran from 10 September 2019 to 21 February 2020. The Dragons de Rouen finished atop the standings. The postseason began on 23 February but was suspended and later cancelled on 12 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the league operating with only 11-teams this season (below the desired 12-team format), no relegation would take place.
Membership changes Étoile Noire de Strasbourg was relegated to Division 1 and replaced by Diables Rouges de Briançon. After the previous season, LHC Les Lions declared bankruptcy and were removed from the league. Because no Division 1 team was able to sign a license with the league on short notice, Ligue Magnus played as an eleven-team circuit for this season.
