The 2019–20 New Jersey Devils season was the 46th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974, and 38th season since the franchise relocated from Colorado prior to the 1982–83 NHL season.[2] For the second time in three years, the Devils received the first overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and selected Jack Hughes first overall.

The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled and the Devils missed the playoffs for the second straight year, as well as the seventh time in the past eight seasons.[5]
