The 2019–20 Zamboanga Family's Brand Sardines season was the second season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

The team entered this season coming off a run to the Division Semifinals in their previous campaign. With their 15th win on December 17, Zamboanga were able to improve from their previous 12–13 run by winning percentage. Their next game on December 27 was when they clinched their first winning season with their 16th victory. They finished the season in a three-way tie for fifth place in the South Division with an 18–12 record. They would claim the fifth seed through the tiebreaker criteria.

Their Division Quarterfinals matchup saw them get revenge on the Batangas City Athletics with a 2–1 series win.[1][2] They would then get swept by the eventual champion Davao Occidental Tigers in the Division Semifinals.[3]

The team's only home game was played on August 31 at the Mayor Vitaliano D. Agan Coliseum in Zamboanga City.
