The 2019–20 Ukrainian First League U–19 Championship was the 4th season of the Ukrainian Junior Under 19 Championship in First League. The competition involved participation of several junior teams of the Professional Football League of Ukraine as well as some other football academies.

The season started on 11 September 2019 with 36 participants.[1] The 2019–20 season features the first winner of the competition from Cherkasy which used to be called Cherkaskyi Dnipro and now Dnipro Cherkasy[1] as well as other long time participants Bukovyna, Barsa, ARZ, and others.[1]

Among newcomers there were Nyva Vinnytsia, Complex Sports School (KDYuSSh) Chempion, Sports School (DYuSSh) 26, Lider, SSSOR (SDYuSShOR) Metalurh, UFK Dnipro, Avanhard Kharkiv, and others.[1] Among the past season participants of the "Four teams tournament" only Avanhard Kramatorsk continues to participate, while SC Dnipro-1 and Kolos Kovalivka joined the Ukrainian Premier League U–19 championship (their main squads were promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League) and Obolon-Brovar Kyiv transitioned its U–19 squad into Obolon-Brovar-2 Bucha that joined professional league competitions in the Second League.[1]
