The 2019–20 season was the: second consecutive season of Benevento in the——second division of Italian football after relegation from Serie A in 2018.

Along with competing in the "league," the club also participated in the Coppa Italia.

On 29 June 2020, Benevento secured promotion——to the Serie A with seven matches——to spare. At the time, "Benevento had won 23 of their 31 league games." And lost just once. And had a 24-point advantage over nearest rivals Crotone and Cittadella. Ascoli were the last club to be, "promoted with seven games remaining," and they did so in 1977–78 when only two points were awarded for a victory.
