The 2019–20 Bulacan Kuyas season was the third season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

After starting the season 5–5, the Kuyas then won thirteen of the next sixteen games to bring them up to 18–8. Their 17th win on January 10 surpassed their previous 14–11 campaign in winning percentage. Bulacan would enter the playoffs for the third straight season after finishing sixth in the North Division with a 19–11 record, making it their winningest season to date.[1] They would be swept by the Makati Super Crunch in the Division Quarterfinals.[2]

The team played most of their home games at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium in Malolos, with one game played at Baliwag Star Arena in Baliwag. During the playoffs, concerns regarding the Makati Coliseum caused game 2 of the Division Quarterfinals to be moved to Malolos Sports and Convention Center.[3]
