The 2019–20 season was the 142nd in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers and the 3rd under then-head coach Nuno Espírito Santo. In that season, they competed in the Premier League for the 2nd consecutive time, the EFL Cup, the FA Cup and in a UEFA/continental competition for the first time since 1980–81 through/via the UEFA Europa League.

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 match for 3 months since the UEL match on 12 March.^[1] A restart of the Premier League was made on 17 June,^[2] with the club returning to action 3 days later.^[3]

The team repeated their 7th-place finish of the previous Premier League season – with an improved points tally – but, as a result of Arsenal winning the FA Cup, this position was not sufficient to qualify for the UEFA Europa League again.^[4] A top-6 position would only have been guaranteed with victory on the final day, but Wolves lost 0–2 at Chelsea.^[5] Their continental campaign concluded at the quarter-final stage of a modified single-leg final tournament in Germany with defeat to the eventual winners Sevilla, lasting 383 days in total^[6] and signified their best performance in a UEFA competition since reaching the inaugural UEFA Cup Final in 1972.
