Summary
For the 2019–20 season, the number of substitutes allowed on the bench was increased from seven to nine.
On 13 March 2020, the DFL suspended the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After consulting with the German government, the league resumed behind closed doors on 16 May 2020. Due to this postponement, the final matchday on 27 June was the second latest date a Bundesliga season has ever concluded, surpassed only by the 1971–72 season, which ended a day later.
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, on 8 March 2020, Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn recommended canceling events with more than 1,000 people. The following day, the DFL announced that the Bundesliga season would be completed to ensure planning for the following season, and that any postponements would be handled by rescheduling entire matchdays en bloc.
On 10 March, it was announced that the catch-up match between Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1. FC Köln on 11 March would be played behind closed doors, the first such occurrence in league history. All fixtures on matchday 26 (13–16 March) were initially planned to be played without spectators due to local restrictions on public gatherings, but the round was subsequently postponed on 13 March due to safety concerns.
On 16 March, the DFL General Assembly suspended the league until at least 2 April and scheduled another meeting for the last week of March to discuss how the competition should proceed. At the meeting on 31 March, the DFL decided to extend the suspension until at least 30 April, based on the Executive Committee’s recommendation. Additionally, the DFL established a sports medicine and special match operations task force to examine a safe method to resume league play.
