The 2019–20 season is the 142nd year in the history of the English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club is competing in the Premier League for the second consecutive season and also in European competition for this first time since 1980–81, having qualified for the UEFA Europa League through the previous season's 7th place league finish. This is their third campaign under head coach Nuno Espírito Santo.

As a result of the suspension of competitive football in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club were unable to play any games for several months after their Europa League tie on 12 March. A restart of the Premier League was made on 17 June, with Wolves returning to action three days later.

Rules for classification: 1st points; 2nd goal difference; 3rd number of goals scored.
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round; (Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament

a. Manchester City were initially banned from all UEFA club competitions for the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons by the UEFA Club Financial Control Body on 14 February 2020 due to alleged breaches of the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations. The decision was appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on 26 February 2020. That appeal was heard on 8 June 2020. The appeal was upheld on 13 July 2020, and the ban was overturned.
b. Since the winners of the 2019–20 EFL Cup, Manchester City, have qualified for the Champions League group stage by league position, the spot given to the EFL Cup winners (Europa League second qualifying round) is passed down to the sixth-placed team.
