The Football League Second Division 1919/20 was the 24th season of the Football League Second Division as the second highest English football league and first season after the interruption caused by the First World War in 1915. It began on August 30, 1919 and ended on May 1 1920.

Second division champion was Tottenham Hotspur and also the second-placed Huddersfield Town rose to the Football League First Division . For the two promoted teams in the following second division season 1920/21, the two first division clubs Notts County and The Wednesday ranked in the table below .

During the season, the Football League Association Leeds City ruled out after eight match days. It was succeeded by Port Vale , which took over the results achieved by Leeds City. Lincoln City and Grimsby Town had to relegate from the Second Division . Grimsby joined the newly created third division ( Football League Third Division ) the following year; Lincoln City did not have this option due to the negative vote of the football association. In addition, Coventry City worried about staying in the class, but then received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to be allowed to participate again in the Second Division in the following season 1920/21. The places of Lincoln City and Grimsby Town took the newly promoted Cardiff City and Leeds United in the following season .
