The 2019–20 U18 Professional Development League 2 season was the eighth campaign of post-EPPP under-18 football's second tier, designed for those academies with Category Two status. A total of 21 teams were split regionally into north and south divisions, with each team facing opponents in their own region twice both home and away, and opponents in the other region once. The teams that finished in the top two places in both regions at the end of the season were supposed to advance to the knockout stage to determine the overall league champion, but the season was halted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England. Sheffield Wednesday U18s were the defending champions. No overall champions were awarded this season.
Wigan Athletic U18s acquired Category Two status in July 2019 and joined the North Division this season.
