The 2019–20 Bicol Volcanoes season was the inaugural season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1]
On June 19, the Volcanoes would claim thri first franchise victory against the Pampanga Giant Lanterns. After starting the season 8–5, the team went on a six-game losing streak, falling down to 8–11. Bicol then came back and won eight of the eleven remaining games to finish the regular season 16–14 and clinch the playoffs.[2] They would eventually be ranked eighth in the South Division. In game 2 of the Division Quarterfinals, the Volcanoes would win a game against the Davao Occidental Tigers to tie the series, marking the first time in league history that an 8-seed won a playoff game against a 1-seed. Bicol, however, would then lose the deciding game 3.[3]
The team played two home games this season, one at Ibalong Centrum for Recreation and the other at Albay Astrodome, both located in Legazpi, Albay.[4]
