The 2019–20 Red Stripe Premier League is the 46th season of the National Premier League, the top division football competition in Jamaica. The season kicked off on 1 September 2019. On March 12, 2020, the season entered a lengthy suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, following the cancellation of several matches.[1] Three days later, the Jamaica Football Federation officially cancelled the season on 15 March 2020 as part of its effort to help contain the pandemic.[2]
