The 2019/20 Nordic Combined World Cup season (official sponsor name: Viessmann FIS World Cup ) began on November 29, 2019 in Ruka and ended on March 7, 2020 in Oslo . At the end of September 2018, the FIS announced the provisional World Cup calendar for the 2019/20 season, which was revised in April 2019. The last open questions were clarified at the committee meeting in Dubrovnik at the end of May 2019, so that the planned mass start competitions were replaced by Gundersen competitions . During the season, however, further changes had to be made for various reasons, so that, among other things, the number of individual competitions and venues had to be reduced due to cancellations. The season was supposed to end on March 15, 2020 in Schonach , but the warm winter and the associated lack of snow prevented the competitions from taking place. The World Cup in Oberstdorf was also the dress rehearsal for the World Cup for 2021. To determine the overall winner, according to Chapter 3.1.3 of the World Cup regulations, each athlete is credited with the points achieved in an individual competition of the current season. If there is a tie in the ranking, the number of better ranks in the individual competitions is decisive for the order. Last year's winner Jarl Magnus Riiber , who started as a top favorite, defended the overall World Cup. Norway won the Nations Cup by a large margin over Germany.

Below the World Cup, the 2019/20 Nordic Combined Continental Cup was the second highest competition series of the winter.

¹Since, according to Chapter 3.2.4 of the official World Cup rules in Nordic Combined, at least eight nations must take part in a team competition, the team competition was canceled at short notice after the start list became known and replaced by an individual competition based on the Gundersen method .

² For technical reasons, the jumps of all three competitions were not held on the large hill (HS 135) as originally planned, but on the normal hill (HS 104).
