The 2019–20 Gozo First Division (known as the BOV GFL First Division for sponsorship reasons) was the 73rd season of the Gozo Football League First Division, the highest division in Gozitan football. The season started on 20 September 2019. Victoria Hotspurs were the defending champions after winning their thirteenth title in the previous season.
The league season was suspended indefinitely on 30 March 2020 by the Malta Football Association (MFA) following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malta. On 25 May, the MFA council ratified the Gozo Football Association's decision to declare Nadur Youngsters as league champions based on sporting merits.
