The 2020 Myanmar National League is the 11th season of the Myanmar National League, the top Myanmar professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 2009. It is also known as MPT Myanmar National League due to the sponsorship deal with Myanma Posts and Telecommunications. Recently, AIA agreed a sponsorship deal with Myanmar National League in order to support both MNL and Myanmar Football. A total of 12 football teams will compete in the league.
Shan United are the defending champions, while Chin United and I.S.P.E have been promoted from the 2019 MNL-2. Shan United were crowned champions in the final matchday, defeating 4-time winner Yadanarbon.
The 1st transfer window is from 9 November 2019 to 10 January 2020 . The 2nd mid season transfer window is from 6 April 2020 to 7 May 2020.
On March 1, all National League matches were played behind closed doors as broadcast-only events. On March 24, MNL postponed all the matches after the first reports of COVID-19 cases in the country.
On June 10, after MFF & MNL meeting, Zwekapin United and Chin United were disbanded from Myanmar National League. All Zwekapin United and Chin United matches, goals and marks are cancelled.
All remaining matches will be held in Yangon due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yangon United crashed out of the title race despite being obliterated by Shan United 4–0 on 16 September 2020. Ayeyawady United lost their unbeaten run after losing 2–1 to Shan United.
