The 2019–20 season was Rotherham United's 95th season in their existence and the first back in the League One following relegation last season.[1] The club also participated in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the EFL Trophy.

Key Events

Rotherham occupied second place in the League One table when the season was temporarily suspended on 31 March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Promotion back to the Championship was confirmed on 9 June 2020, when the EFL clubs voted to accept a proposal which would curtail the League One season and decide league positions on a points-per-game basis.[3]
