2019 Chinese Super League
The 2019 Ping An Chinese Football Association Super League () was the 16th season since the establishment of the Chinese Super League. The league title sponsor was Ping An Insurance. The season began on 1 March and ended on 1 December. Shanghai SIPG were the defending champions. The policy regarding foreign players and U-23 domestic players was modified for this season.

In addition, if there are U-23 players who have been called up by the national teams at all levels, the number of U-23 domestic playe ...
