The 2019–20 FC Bayern Munich season was the 121st season in the football club's history and 55th consecutive and overall season in the top flight of German football, the Bundesliga, having been promoted from the Regionalliga in 1965. Bayern also participated in this season's edition of the domestic cup, the DFB-Pokal, and the premier continental cup competition, the UEFA Champions League. As a result of winning the prior season's Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, they took part in the German super cup, the DFL-Supercup, as well.
After their campaign was halted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bayern would return to action in May behind closed doors. They then went on to win all sixteen of their season's remaining fixtures, capped off by a 1–0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, to secure a continental treble for the second time in club history, seven years after first accomplishing the feat in 2012–13. This made Bayern only the second European club after Barcelona (who Bayern defeated 8–2 en route to their Champions League victory) to win multiple continental trebles, and extended Bayern's ongoing unbeaten streak to thirty matches (of which only one wasn't a victory).
As a result of their domestic double, Bayern qualified for next season's DFL-Supercup, which they went on to win. As Champions League title holders, they would also qualify for both the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, eventually lifting each of these trophies as well. With these victories ensuring Bayern had won all six competitions they took part in across the 2020 calendar year, the club thus joined Barcelona in 2009 as the only other side to accomplish this "sextuple" in the history of European football.
The season was the first since 2006–07 without Franck Ribéry, who departed for Fiorentina in the summer, and the first since 2008–09 without Dutchman Arjen Robben, who initially retired after the 2018–19 season.
