The 2019–20 Manila Stars season was the second season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
Coming off a Division Finals appearance in the previous season, the Stars began their 2019–20 campaign with a 9–1 record in their first ten games, which included a seven-game winning streak from July 4 to August 19. They would go on to conclude the season going 8–1 in their last nine games, finishing with a 25–5 record and the second seed in the North Division. By both wins and winning percentage, this would be their best season in both aspects as of 2023.
Manila kicked off their playoff run with a sweep against the Pasig Sta. Lucia Realtors before taking on the Makati Super Crunch in the Division Semifinals.[1] Despite winning game 1 of the series, Manila would lose the next two games, including the deciding game 3 in overtime, thus ending their run.[2]
The team played all of their home games this season at San Andres Sports Complex.
