The 2019–20 Nashville Predators season was the 22nd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.^[2] They entered the season as the two-time defending Central Division champions.

The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.^[3]^[4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.^[5] The Predators advanced to the playoffs, but were defeated in four games by the Arizona Coyotes in the qualifying round.^[6]
