The 2019–20 LPB season was the 86th season of the premier Portuguese basketball league and the 11th season under the current Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol (LPB) format. For sponsorship reasons, the league was also known as Liga Placard.

Oliveirense retained the title achieving their second league ever.

Format

[edit]

The competition format consisted of two stages: a regular season, comprising two phases, and the play-offs. In the first phase of the regular season, the twelve participating teams compete against each other in a double round-robin system, with home and away matches.[1][2]

The second phase of the regular season comprised two groups; the six best-ranked teams at the end of the first phase competed in Group A, and the remaining six teams competed in Group B. Again, teams in each group competed against each other in a double round-robin system, with home and away matches. The six Group A teams and the two best-ranked Group B teams qualified for the play-offs, while the two worst-ranked teams in Group B were relegated to the second-tier Proliga.

The play-offs were disputed as a single-elimination tournament, with fixtures determined by each team's classification in the previous round, and comprise three knockout rounds (quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals) played in a best-of-five system.[1]
