The 2019–20 season was Crewe Alexandra's 143rd season in their history, their 96th in the English Football League and fourth consecutive in League Two.[1] Along with competing in League Two, the club also participated in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and EFL Trophy.

The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.
Crewe vied for promotion to the EFL League One for much of the 2019–20 season, and were top of the table (ahead of Swindon Town on goal difference) when the football season was suspended on 13 March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. On 9 June, Crewe's promotion to League One was confirmed, but Swindon were crowned League Two champions on the basis of average points per game.[2]
