The 2019–20 season is AaB's 37th consecutive season in the top flight of Danish football, 30th consecutive season in the Danish Superliga, and 134th year in existence as a football club.
After AaB had played its first 24 matches of the 3F Superliga season and reached the semi-final of the Sydbank Pokalen, all Danish sports were postponed, starting from 18 March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 7 May 2020, the Danish government allowed professional sports taking place outdoors to return behind closed doors, thus also football. As a result of the unexpected break, the season was prolonged to include the months of June and July with two additional friendlies being played before the restart of the tournaments. AaB qualified for the club's 12th Danish Cup final.
