# 2019–20 New Basket Brindisi season

The 2019–20 season is New Basket Brindisi's 28th in existence and the club's 9th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian basketball.

## Brindisi

The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone. Brindisi ended the championship in 5th position.
