The 2019–20 season was the Western United Football Club's first season. Western United competed in the A-League for the first time, though they did not compete in the FFA Cup.[1]

On 24 March 2020, the FFA announced that the 2019–20 A-League season would be postponed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia and New Zealand.[2] The season resumed on 17 July 2020.[3] Western United finished fifth in their inaugural A-League season, finishing at the semi-finals.
