The 2019–20 Washington Capitals season was the 46th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 11, 1974.[2] The Capitals entered the season as the 4-time defending Metropolitan Division champions. They would go on to win the division for the fifth year in a row.

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 COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[5] The Capitals advanced to the playoffs, but were eliminated by the New York Islanders in the first round in five games.[6]
