The 2019–20 Bataan Risers season was the third season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
Bataan came off to a slow start following a first-seed finish and a Division Semifinals run in the previous season, going 7–8 through the first half of the season. In the second half, the team would turn things around as they would win thirteen games during that span, including a seven-game winning streak from October 8 to November 20. The Risers finished in fifth place with a 20–10 record. In the Division Quarterfinals, they would be swept by their regional rival in the Pampanga Giant Lanterns.
All of their home games this season took place at the Bataan People's Center in Balanga.
