The 2019–20 Campeonato Nacional Feminino (also known as Liga BPI for sponsorship reasons) is the 35th edition of Campeonato Nacional Feminino.
On 8 April 2020 the Portuguese Football Federation cancelled all non-professional competitions in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal. No titles were awarded, and no teams will be promoted or relegated.[1] Benfica was later appointed to the UEFA Champions League qualifying round as table leaders at the time of interruption.[2]
On 19 October 2019 Benfica hosted the first official female Derby de Lisboa on Estádio da Luz against Sporting CP. The game ended 3–0 for the home team and established a new attendance record of 12,812 people on a women's football match in Portugal.[3]

Twelve teams compete in the league – ten teams from the 2018–19 Campeonato Nacional, as well as two teams promoted from the Campeonato de Promoção.
The team changes were the following:[4]
- Boavista and Vilaverdense were the teams relegated, finishing 11th and 12th, respectively.
- Benfica, the winner of Campeonato Nacional II Divisão and Cadima, were the teams promoted.
