The 2019–20 FA Trophy (known for sponsorship reasons as the Buildbase FA Trophy) is the 51st season of the FA Trophy, an annual football competition for teams at levels 5-8 of the English National League System. The competition consists of two preliminary rounds, three qualifying rounds, and six proper rounds. All matches until the semi-finals are single-match knockout format with reversed replays after first-leg matches drawn in regulation time. The semi-finals are two-legged and the final is a single-match held at Wembley Stadium and decided in extra time or penalties if tied after regulation. First-leg ties throughout the competition can be decided by extra time or penalties if both teams agree and notify the referee at least 45 minutes before kickoff, in accordance with FA Trophy Rule 11(a).
The competition was paused at the semi-final stage due to the covid-19 pandemic. The FA has stated its intention to complete the competition when possible.

Semi-Finals[]
Originally scheduled for March 2020, the two-legged semi-finals were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FA declared their intention to complete the tournament, but with an uncertain timeframe. In late August 2020, they scheduled the semi-finals as single matches in September, with a date of 27 September for the final at Wembley. The final, alongside the FA Vase final held as part of the same event, was to be among the matches trialling the return of spectators to elite football after the height of the first wave of the pandemic in the UK, but this was further postponed following new restrictions on gatherings in England that were enacted on 14 September 2020 as COVID-19 cases increased.
