The 2019–20 season was Società Sportiva Calcio Napoli's 74th season in Serie A. Following a 2nd-place finish the previous season, the club competed in three competitions: Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Champions League, starting in the round of 16 and the group stage in the latter two competitions, respectively.
The season was coach Carlo Ancelotti's second in charge, following his appointment in May 2018 to replace Maurizio Sarri, but he was sacked on 10 December after a poor run of results, and replaced by Gennaro Gattuso the following day.
