The 2019–20 Montreal Canadiens season was the 111th season for the franchise that was established on December 4, 1909, and their 103rd season as a franchise in the National Hockey League.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the season was suspended by league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations likewise followed suit. On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with all remaining games being cancelled. The Canadiens would advance to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016–17 season, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins in the qualifying round, but were eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round in six games.
