The 2019-20 campaign for Carlisle United was a season of profound instability and a hard-fought battle for League Two survival, culminating in an 18th-place finish after the season was curtailed due to the pandemic. The Cumbrians navigated a turbulent year, which included a mid-season managerial change, to secure their status. Leading the line were the joint league top scorers, Nathan Thomas and Olufela Olomola, whose five goals each provided crucial moments for the team. It was a challenging year that tested the Brunton Park faithful but ultimately secured their place in the professional ranks.
