The 2019–20 NISA season was the inaugural season of the National Independent Soccer Association's third-division soccer competition.[1] The regular season was split into two halves, fall and spring, with playoffs at the end. The fall season, named "NISA Showcase", featured seven teams, with the East and West champions earning berths into the 2020 playoffs.[2] The spring season featured eight teams, and switches to a single table format, the top 3 teams joining California United Strikers in the playoffs.
The spring season was suspended on March 12, for 30 days, due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3] The suspension was then extended in accordance with CDC guidelines[4] and eventually made permanent on April 27, 2020.[5]
