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.
