2019–20 DEL season
The 2019–20 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season was the 26th season since the founding of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga running from 13 September 2019 to 10 March 2020.[1] The season was ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, and EHC Red Bull München, which had won the regular season, was declared the season champion by DEL for 2020-21 Champions Hockey League purposes, as final regular season standings in lieu of playoffs were used to determine DEL nominations to the league.[2]
