The 2019-20 Bundesliga is the 78th season of the Bundesliga, Germany's premier field hockey league. It began on 7 September 2019 and it will be concluded with the championship final on 24 May 2019 in Mannheim. For the 2019-20 season the German Hockey Federation introduced a new format. The league is played by twelve teams grouped in two pools of six (Pool A and Pool B) based on the previous season's ranking. The teams of the same pool compete 2 times and face the teams of the other pool once. The first four of each pool are qualified for the play-offs and the last two of each pool play the play-downs. Uhlenhorst Mülheim are the two-time defending champions.
