Preceded by 2018/2019	2019/2020	Succeeded by 2020/2021

Ronnie O'Sullivan started the season as the highest ranked player, but was replaced by Judd Trump after the second revision.

The sport of professional snooker has had a world ranking system in place since 1976.^[1] Certain tournaments were given "ranking" status, with the results at those events contributing to a player's world ranking. The events that made up the 1976–77 snooker season were the first to award players with ranking points.^[1] Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added.^[1] The system used for the 2019–20 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players won ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events.^[2] The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with ten revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season.^[3] These revisions are used as official rankings, with points awarded in the current season overwriting those from two years prior.^[2]

Ronnie O'Sullivan began the season as the highest ranked player; however, Judd Trump became world number one after winning the 2019 International Championship.^[4] Trump retained the position until the end of the season, where he had a lead of over 500,000 points, despite O'Sullivan winning 500,000 points at the 2020 World Snooker Championship.^[5] During the season, Trump took a record number of ranking events, winning six.^[6]

Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added. The system used for the 2018–19 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players won ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events. The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with eleven revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season.
