The 2019–20 season was Queen of the South's seventh consecutive season back in the second tier of Scottish football and their seventh season in the Scottish Championship,^[1] having been promoted as champions from the Scottish Second Division at the end of the 2012–13 season.^[2] Queens also competed in the Scottish Cup, the League Cup, and the Challenge Cup.

Summary

Queens finished ninth in the Scottish Championship, although there were no play-offs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Queens retained their place in the Championship after the leagues were ended by utilising a points-per-game ratio to determine the final league standings.

Queens reached the third round of the Challenge Cup, losing 3–2 away to Clyde.

The Doonhamers were knocked out after the first round of the League Cup after the completion of fixtures in Group E that included Annan Athletic, Dumbarton, Greenock Morton and Motherwell.

Queens reached the third round of the Scottish Cup, losing 2–1 to Queen's Park at Palmerston.

On 13 March 2020, all SPFL leagues were indefinitely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[3]

On 8 April 2020, the SPFL proposed to end the 2019–20 season by utilising a points-per-game ratio to determine the final league standings.^[4]

On 15 April 2020, the plan was approved, with this declaration that the season was concluded, as Dundee United were declared title winners, with Partick Thistle relegated to League One.^[5]
