The 2019–20 Telekom S-League is the 16th season of the Telekom S-League, the top football league in the Solomon Islands.
The league kicked off on 14 September 2019.https://www.facebook.com/855176814691315/photos/a.895208130688183/1157235564485437/?type=3&theater and finished on 29 January 2020. It was originally scheduled to finish in December 2019 but it was postponed. After many discussions the final matches were played on late January, with the exception of a fixture between bottom-table sides Real Kakamora and FC Guadalcanal. The match was never held, and the league never announced if it was awarded as a draw.
Solomon Warriors were crowned as the league champions after defeating Guadalcanal by default in the last gameweek.
