2019–20 Combined Counties Football League

The 2019–20 Combined Counties Football League season was the 42nd in the history of the Combined Counties Football League, a football competition in England. The season was abandoned on 26 March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

League suspension and season abandonment
Despite other leagues suspending all matches from 13 March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Combined Counties League continued to hold matches on 14 March, although two clubs refused to travel. The following day, the league postponed all matches until 28 March. On 16 March, the FA decided to postpone all matches across all FA Competitions until 3 April, and a league statement confirmed the postponement of all matches for the foreseeable future. On 26 March 2020, the league season was formally abandoned, with all results being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or between the two divisions. On 30 March 2020, sixty-six non-league clubs sent an open letter to the Football Association requesting that they reconsider their decision. Jersey Bulls had already amassed sufficient points to be promoted from Division One, but were not promoted after the abandonment. ==Premier Division==
Premier Division
The Premier Division was increased from 20 to 21 clubs, and featured five new teams after the promotion of Chertsey Town to the Isthmian League, the transfer of Horley Town to the Southern Combination League, and the relegation of A.F.C. Hayes and Walton & Hersham to Division One: • Ascot United, transferred from the Hellenic League. • Egham Town, relegated from the Isthmian League. • Frimley Green, promoted as runners-up in Division One. • Molesey, also relegated from the Isthmian League South Central Division. • Sheerwater, promoted as champions of Division One. • Frimley Green were initially not promoted from Division One, but appealed the decision and were successful, so the division ran with 21 clubs.
