The 2019–20 season was West Ham Uniteds eighth consecutive campaign in the Premier League since being promoted in the 2011–12 season. It was West Ham's 24th Premier League campaign overall and their 62nd top flight appearance in their 125th year in existence.

In addition to the Premier League, West Ham United participated in the FA Cup entering in the third round before being eliminated by West Bromwich Albion in the fourth round. They also played in the EFL Cup, entering at the second round before being eliminated the third round by Oxford United of League One.

The season was suspended following a decision on 13 March 2020 by the Premier League to suspend the league after a number of players and other club staff became ill due to the coronavirus pandemic. The initial suspension was until 4 April, which was then extended. The FA then agreed to extend the season indefinitely, past the scheduled end date of 1 June. The season resumed on 19 June, with West Ham playing their first match since suspension the following day, losing 0–2 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. All matches from this date were played behind closed doors with no paying supporters and an attendance limited to 300 key people, although all West Ham's remaining fixtures were broadcast live on television or streaming platforms.

On 11 July, Michail Antonio scored all four goals in a 4–0 away victory over Norwich City. Antonio became the first West Ham player to score four times in a single Premier League match and the first in any league game since David Cross in 1981.
