The 2019–20 Honduran Liga Nacional season was the 54th Honduran Liga Nacional edition since its establishment in 1965. The tournament started in July 2019 and ended in March 2020. The season was divided into two halves (Apertura and Clausura), each crowning one champion. A new format will be used starting this season, each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for 18 games. The first five teams will advance to the post-season (Pentagonal), where they will play each other once. If the same team wins both phases, they will be crowned champions automatically; otherwise, a final series will be scheduled between the winners of both phases. This format was last used in 1992–93.[1] At the end of the season, the three teams with the best record will qualify to the 2020 CONCACAF League.
Following the 13th matchday on 15 March 2020 the Clausura tournament was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Honduras.[2] On 29 April the tournament was officially cancelled with no champion declared and no team relegated.[3]
2019–20 teams
A total of 10 teams will contest the tournament, including 9 sides from the 2018–19 season plus C.D. Real Sociedad, promoted from the 2018–19 Liga de Ascenso.
