Following a winless start to the season, manager Dino Maamria was sacked in September 2019.^[6] First-team coach Mark Sampson assumed control of the team in a Caretaker role, overseeing the club for 14 games.^[7] With the club in 23rd-position, Graham Westley returned as manager, his fourth spell at the club.^[8] Westley resigned in February 2020 and was replaced by player Alex Revell.^[9]

The club were in last place of League Two when the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.^[10] EFL clubs formally agreed to end the season during an EFL meeting on 9 June 2020, although "ongoing disciplinary matters" involving 23rd-placed Macclesfield Town, who had not paid their players on six separate occasions during the season, meant Stevenage might be reprieved.^[10][11] Stevenage were initially relegated from League Two after an independent disciplinary panel opted to deduct Macclesfield two points on 19 June, with a further four suspended, the maximum number they could deduct without relegating them, highlighting this as a key factor in the sanctions they had chosen to impose.^[12] The EFL stated it would appeal against the independent disciplinary panel's sanctions on Macclesfield,^[13][14][15] winning their appeal against the points deduction on 11 August.^[16] This meant that the four suspended points were activated immediately and applied to the 2019–20 season, meaning Stevenage finished in 23rd-place and consequently retained their League Two status.^[16]

The season covers the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.
