spaceflightfans.cn today has published a launch date of Septeber 24, 2019.
http://www.spaceflightfans.cn/china-launch-schedule
The source is the program for a kid's science camp there which included watching a launch from Xichang on that day at around 8 pm (=12:00 UTC).
However I am not sure these are the satellites flying on it....

Fun fact: This will be the fourth consecutive Chinese orbital launch in a row, with no other countries inbetween. That's a new Chinese record, after today's record of three Chinese launches in a row, which also never happened before. Of course with some "help" from a burning Japanese launch pad. But even if HTV-8 had launched on 10 September, this CZ-3B would set a new Chinese record of three launches in a row.
The U.S. did four successful consecutive launches in 1961, the Soviet Union in 1966. 53 years later, China is set to be the third.

Seems like the launch time will be closer to 21:00 UTC (the previous report, based on local tour operators, has the time as 20:30 - 21:30 UTC).

It will take about four hours for the mission to be completed, so confirmation of launch success should arrive around 0100UTC on September 23.

Bing translation.
"On 23 September, at 0510 hours, China successfully carried out the "One Arrow And Two Stars" launch mission at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center using the Long March III B/Expedition1 carrier rocket, launching the 47th and 48th Beidou navigation satellites. The mission marks the beginning of the transition and upgrading of Beidou III network from the basic system to the complete system, and also means that this year's Beidou satellite began to enter a high-density launch period. The launch mission was carried out by the Long March III B/Expedition 1 carrier rocket, the 104th launch of the "Gold Rocket" Long Sanaa series and the 312nd flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets."

Please note that there are some reports out there that the satellites are # M23 & M24, and probably not M19/20 as originally guessed. This needs some direct confirmation though.
This is the 6th and apparently last pair of Beidou-3 MEO satellites from CAST. The last two pairs will apparently come from CAS.

The deduction (or information) that these two satellites are Beidou-3M23 and Beidou-3M24 is based on this photo posted on the 9ifly Chinese space forum and shows a preparation meeting of members from the Fifth Academy before the launch.

I agree this is definitive now, MEO23 and MEO24 are correct. Thanks to admins for correcting the thread title.
