In addition to thedomestic league, Union Berlin also participated in the season's edition of thedomestic cup, theDFB-Pokal. Since their foundation, Union have played in theStadion An der Alten Försterei, located inBerlin, Germany. The season covered a period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.
On 27 May 2019, Union Berlin gained promotion to theBundesliga for the first time in the club's history, following a 2–2 draw over two legs againstVfB Stuttgart, in which Union triumphed on the away goals rule.[2] Following promotion, Union Berlin made 14 signings, including signingMarvin Friedrich, the scorer of the deciding goal against Stuttgart, for €2.5 million fromFC Augsburg. The club contested eight pre-season friendlies, winning five, drawing two and losing one.
Union Berlin's first ever Bundesliga game came against rivalsRB Leipzig on 18 August 2019, losing 4–0. The club's oldest ultras group, theWuhlesyndikat, successfully called for a 15-minute silent protest at the start of the game, aimed in protest at Leipzig's ownership model.[3] Six days later, the club picked up their first Bundesliga point, drawing 1–1 away atFC Augsburg, with forwardSebastian Andersson scoring Union Berlin's first ever Bundesliga goal.[4] On matchday 3, Union Berlin gained their first ever Bundesliga win, in a shock 3–1 home victory againstUEFA Champions League outfitBorussia Dortmund.[5] During the first five matchdays,International Centre for Sports Studies research concluded that Union Berlin had the highest average height across the top 31 European first divisions.[6] On 2 November 2019, Union Berlin recorded their third Bundesliga win of the season, thanks to a 1–0 home win againstBerlin rivalsHertha BSC; the first meeting between the pair in the top flight of German football. DespiteSebastian Polter scoring a late winner from the penalty spot, the game was not without controversy, as refereeDeniz Aytekin temporarily halted the game, following fireworks from the away section entering the home sections and the field of play. Following full-time,Rafał Gikiewicz won praise from fans and media alike, after helping prevent a minor pitch invasion from a section of Union Berlin ultras, aimed at attacking Hertha supporters, after Union Berlin flags, shirts and scarves were burnt in the away end during the game. The win lifted Union to 14th place in the Bundesliga table, three points above the relegation play-off place.[7]
On 23 November 2019, Union Berlin recorded their fourth consecutive competitive win, following a 2–0 victory over Bundesliga leadersBorussia Mönchengladbach, with second half goalscorer Andersson sitting at fourth in the Bundesliga scoring charts following the win.[8] At the halfway point of the season, Union sat in eleventh place, one place and one point above city rivals Hertha BSC.[9]

FC Köln supporters, who had all protested against Hopp's involvement with Hoffenheim on the same weekend.[13] On 4 March 2020, Union Berlin were knocked out of theDFB-Pokal at the quarter-final stage, in a 3–1 loss againstBayer Leverkusen.[14]
Ahead of matchday 26, the Bundesliga was suspended, owing to theCOVID-19 pandemic in Germany, with theDeutsche Fußball Liga recommending a suspension until 2 April 2020.[15] The second Berlin derby of the season, originally scheduled for 21 March 2020, was due to be played behind closed doors following advice from theBundesministerium für Gesundheit,[16] but was later postponed following the Bundesliga's suspension until 2 April. In mid-April, clubs returned to training. On 7 May 2020, theDeutscher Fußball-Bund announced resumption of the Bundesliga without spectators in mid-May, with the final weekend of the season set to be played on 27 June 2020.[17] On 17 May 2020, after six Bundesliga matchday 26 games were played a day prior, Union Berlin lost 2–0 at home to Bayern Munich behind closed doors.[18] On 22 May 2020, Hertha BSC played Union Berlin at the Olympiastadion behind closed doors in the second Berlin derby of the season, winning 4–0; the biggest competitive victory between the pair.[19]
