2019–20 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season

The 2019–20 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 28th season in the Premier League and 42nd successive season in the top division of the English football league system. Along with the domestic league, the club competed in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the UEFA Champions League. This also marked the first full season of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, after playing the majority of the previous season at Wembley Stadium.

The season started poorly for Tottenham, with only three of their first 12 league games won, as well as being knocked out of the EFL Cup by Colchester United. This resulted in Mauricio Pochettino's sacking on 19 November 2019, to be replaced by José Mourinho the following day. In the FA Cup, Tottenham were taken to a replay twice, requiring four games to progress to the fifth round where they hosted Norwich City. The game went into extra time and with the result being 1–1, it came down to penalties. Norwich won the shootout 3–2 and knocked out Spurs.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Premier League football matches were postponed in March, including Tottenham's games against Manchester United and West Ham. A further joint statement from the Premier League and UEFA extended postponement until 30 April. Later, the season's postponement was again extended, this time indefinitely. The season for Tottenham ultimately restarted on 19 June, when they hosted Manchester United in a 1–1 draw with Steven Bergwijn on the scoresheet.

The season has seen Tottenham taking the least amount of shots since Opta began collecting data during the 1997–98 season. Several of these games were plagued by controversial VAR decisions, two of which were a handball called against Lucas Moura that resulted in Harry Kane's goal against Sheffield United being disallowed, as well as a penalty not given against Bournemouth in which Joshua King pushed Kane from behind in the box. The Premier League later confirmed that this was, in fact, the wrong decision.

The season was documented in the Amazon Prime Video series All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur.
