# 2019–20 Vyshcha Liha (women)

The 2019–20 season of the Ukrainian Championship Higher League was the 29th season of Ukraine's top women's football league. It started on 20 July 2019. The season was scheduled to end on 30 May 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament ended on 31 July 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the spring portion of the competition was suspended. Finally in early July 2020, the UAF Executive Committee approved continuation of the Women's Top Division as per the existing season's regulations and pre-cautionary health security measures that were adopted in Ukraine in late May 2020.
