On 24 March 2020, the KBL decided to cancel the remainder of the season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] Initially some games in February were played behind closed doors but, as with other domestic sports leagues, government restrictions forced the KBL to forfeit the rest of the season. [2] Hence there was no Play-offs MVP awarded this season.

The KBL, as it announced the cancellation of the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs, said no champions would be crowned this season. The Seoul SK Knights and the Wonju DB Promy went into the record books as the co-first-placed teams in the regular season. [3]
