The 2019–20 season was Toulouse Football Club's 49th season in existence and the club's 17th consecutive season in the top flight of French football. In addition to the domestic league, Toulouse participated in this season's editions of the Coupe de France, and the Coupe de la Ligue. The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.

Toulouse underwent a disastrous campaign in the league, accumulating only one point in their last 18 matches.^[1] As a result the team was relegated to Ligue 2 for the first time since 2003.

[table_note_NIM0.088696573436585-4] Originally, the 18th-placed Ligue 1 team would play in promotion-relegation play-offs at the end of the season with a team from Ligue 2 to decide whether they would remain in Ligue 1 for the 2020–21 season, but the play-offs were cancelled and the 18th-placed team remained in Ligue 1.
