The 2019β20 Highland Football League (known as the Breedon Highland League for sponsorship reasons) was the 117th season of the Highland Football League, and the 6th season as the fifth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. The season began on 27 July 2019 and was scheduled to end on 18 April 2020. Cove Rangers were the reigning champions, but could not defend their title after being promoted to Scottish League Two.
On 13 March 2020, the league was indefinitely suspended due to the 2019β20 coronavirus outbreak [1] and later curtailed. On 21 March, Brora Rangers were awarded the title following a vote of the league's member clubs. [2] League positions were confirmed in August 2020 based on points per game in the curtailed season. [3]
The following teams changed division after the 2018β19 season.
Promoted to League Two
Following Cove's promotion, the league decided in May 2019 to play the 2019β20 season with 17 teams, rather than invite a new member to replace Cove. [4] [5]
All grounds are equipped with floodlights as required by league regulations.
