The 2019–20 Southern Combination Football League season was the 95th in the history of the competition, which lies at levels 9 and 10 of the English football league system.^[1]

The provisional club allocations for steps 5 and 6 were first announced by the FA on 19 May 2019.^[2]

This season was also the first season the sin bin rule applied to this level of football.^[3]

League suspension and season abandonment edit

On 16 March 2020, both the Football Association and the Sussex County Football Association announced that all football competitions for Non-League football would be put on hold until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic.^[4] A video conference between the FA and other leagues at levels 9 and 10 was held on 24 March with a view to start proceedings whether to cancel null the league or to award promotion or relegation based on points per game.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this season's competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the competition.^[5] On 30 March 2020, sixty-six non-league clubs sent an open letter to the Football Association requesting that they reconsider their decision.^[6]

Premier Division edit

The Premier Division consists of 20 clubs, the same as last season, after Arundel and Shoreham were relegated to Division One, and Chichester City were promoted to Isthmian League Division One South.

Three clubs joined the division:

Alfold – promoted from Division One
Steyning Town Community – promoted from Division One
Horley Town – transferred from Combined Counties Football League Premier Division
