The 2019–20 NISA season was the inaugural season of the National Independent Soccer Association, a third-division soccer competition in the United States. The regular season was divided into two halves, Fall and Spring, intended to culminate in playoffs. The Fall season, branded as the "NISA Showcase", featured seven teams; the champions of the East and West conferences earned berths into the 2020 playoffs. The Spring season expanded to eight teams and switched to a single-table format, with the top three teams set to join the Fall West champion, California United Strikers, in the postseason. However, the Spring season was suspended on March 12 for an initial 30-day period due to the coronavirus pandemic. The suspension was subsequently extended in accordance with CDC guidelines before the season was officially cancelled on April 27, 2020.
