The 2019–20 BCHL season was the 58th season of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). The seventeen teams from the Interior, Island and Mainland divisions played 58-game schedules. The 2019 BCHL Showcase Festival occurred shortly after the start of the season, on October 2–3, 2019, in Chilliwack and October 4–5, 2019, in Penticton.

In March, teams began playing for the Fred Page Cup, the BCHL championship. However, Hockey Canada cancelled the remainder of the Junior A hockey season in Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic the day the second round was to get underway. As a result, the BCHL did not award the Fred Page Cup for the first time in its 58-year history.

There were no changes to the league alignment or schedule from the previous season. The league did adopt a new rule allowing the attacking team to choose which side they want to take a faceoff after an icing or penalty call.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, North American sports leagues began suspending their seasons on 11 March 2020. The National Hockey League officially suspended the remainder of the season on 12 March 2020, which was followed by Hockey Canada suspending all sanctioned hockey activities in the country later that day. On 13 March 2020, the Canadian Junior Hockey League, in which the BCHL is a member, cancelled the remainder of the 2019–20 CJHL season, which meant the Fred Page Cup playoffs would not be finished, and both the Doyle Cup and Centennial Cup would not be contested. It is the only time in the history of the BCHL that the season ended without crowning a champion.
