The 2019–20 Liga II (also known as 2019–20 Liga II Casa Pariurilor) was the 80th season of the Liga II, the second tier of the Romanian football league system. The season began on 3 August 2019 and ended on 2 August 2020. [1] A total of 20 teams contested the league. It was the fourth Liga II season with a single series. The season was initially scheduled to be played in a round-robin tournament. The first two teams would be promoted to Liga I at the end of the season and the third-placed team would play a play-off match against the 12th-placed team from Liga I. The last five teams would relegate to Liga III.
The season was interrupted on 9 March 2020, after 25 rounds, due to COVID-19 pandemic. After two months of inactivity, on 14 May 2020, the Romanian Football Federation announced that a promotion play-off tournament between the first 6 ranked teams (after 25 rounds) will be played to decide the two teams that will be promoted to Liga I and the third-placed, team that would play another play-off match against the 12th-placed team from Liga I. No teams will be relegated this season, apart from the clubs that were already dissolved or excluded (Sportul Snagov and Daco-Getica București). [2]
