Dimitri Oberlin was loaned out to Empoli, Aldo Kalulu to Swansea City and Dominik Schmid to Wil until the end of the season.

Following a home defeat against bottom of the table Thun, Basel lost contact to the top two teams.

Postponement came after the Swiss Federal Council banned all major events until 15 March due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

[6] Following this COVID-19 break Basel could not close the gap to the table top and therefore ended their season in third position, 14 points behind defending champions Young Boys who successfully retained the title.

Goalkeeper Jonas Omlin and the two defenders Silvan Widmer and Taulant Xhaka each played 32 league matches.

In the second half Afimico Pululu, again Van Wolfswinkel and Fabian Frei managed three more goals to make it a definitive 6–1 win.

[13] The final was played on 30 August in the Stadion Wankdorf in Bern and the opponents were BSC Young Boys.

Here they were drawn against PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands and won on the away goals rule after the two games ended with a 4–4 aggregate score.

It was a comfortable night for the visitors who capitalised on some poor defending from the hosts to take a commanding lead back to Switzerland.

In the 38th minute Fabian Frei converted the penalty given after Nicholas Ioannou had fouled captain Valentin Stocker.

In the Round of 16 Basel were drawn in the first leg with an away match in Germany against Eintracht Frankfurt and was won 3–0, the goals coming from Samuele Campo, Kevin Bua and Fabian Frei.

On 17 June 2020, UEFA announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the final stages of the competition would feature a format change.

The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final would be played in a single-leg format from 10 to 21 August 2020 in the German cities of Cologne, Düsseldorf, Duisburg and Gelsenkirchen.

It also includes players that were in the squad the day the season started on 19 July 2019 but subsequently left the club after that date.
