The 2019–20 Junior ABA League was the 3rd season of the Junior ABA League with twelve men's under-19 teams from Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia. Teams are the junior selections of the ABA League teams.

On 12 March 2020, the ABA League Assembly temporarily suspended its competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] On 27 May 2020, the ABA League Assembly canceled definitely its competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

The Final tournament would have been played on 21–22 March 2020 at the Železnik Hall, Belgrade.[3] Cibona U19 was the defending champion and as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABA League Assembly decided not to recognize any team as the champion for the season.
