Summary
The Premier League season marked the start of a new three-year TV deal. One key change was that eight matches were shown on television at 19:45 on Saturdays across the season, broadcast by Sky Sports. Further, Amazon broadcast two rounds of fixtures in December, including the Merseyside derby, marking the first time an entire round of live matches had been broadcast domestically.
It was the first Premier League season to have a mid-season break in February. Three games of a normal round of ten were played on the weekend of 8–9 February 2020, six games on the following weekend of 14–17 February, and the tenth game, Manchester City versus West Ham United, was rescheduled from 9 February to 19 February due to Storm Ciara. Games played on the same day had separate time slots, so the games did not overlap.
Title race
With Manchester City and Liverpool achieving 98 and 97 points respectively in the 2018–19 season, many expected another close race for the title. Liverpool led the 2019-20 Premier League for almost all of the season, eventually finishing as champions and marking their first league title in 30 years and their first of the Premier League era after Manchester City lost 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 25 June 2020.
Upon winning the league, Liverpool claimed the unusual achievement of winning the Premier League earlier than any other team by games played (with seven games remaining) and later than any other team by date (the only team to clinch the title in the month of June).
