The 2019–20 Port Vila Premier League is the 26th season of the Port Vila Premier League, the top football league in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu. The season was previously scheduled to begin in 20 September[1] but it was postponed to 12 October[2] due to 2019 OFC Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament[3] that was held in Fiji between 21 September and 5 October. Tafea are the defending champions.[4][5] All clubs play home games at the 6,500-capacity Port Vila Municipal Stadium, except for Yatel FC. They play at the 5,000-capacity Korman Stadium.
