The 2019–21 Bundesliga was the 75th season of the Bundesliga, Germany's premier field hockey league. It began on 7 September 2019 and it concluded with the championship final on 9 May 2021 in Mannheim.^[1] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the league was suspended on 13 March until 1 April 2020.^[2] The season returned on 5 September 2020 and was extended into 2021 with an extra round of matches.

For the 2019–21 season, the German Hockey Federation introduced a new format.^[3] The league was played by twelve teams grouped in two pools of six (Pool A and Pool B) based on the previous season's ranking. The teams of the same pool competed 2 times and faced the teams of the other pool once. The first four of each pool qualified for the play-offs and the last two of each pool played the play-downs.
