The 2019–20 FC Midtjylland season was FC Midtjylland's 21st season of existence, and their 19th consecutive season in the Superliga, the top tier of football in Denmark. As a result of the club's first ever Danish Cup win the previous season, it competed in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League and had the opportunity to defending its cup title in the 2019–20 Danish Cup, but lost in the Third Round. The season was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and matches were stopped after matches on March 8 and resumed on June 1.
The club captured its third-ever Danish Superliga title, clinching the championship on 9 July 2020, with a decisive 3-1 over 2018-19 Champion F.C. København.
