The 2019–20 season for the Philadelphia 76ers represented the organization's 71st campaign competing in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis of Rudy Gobert, the league suspended all games after March 11. Subsequently, on March 19, three members of the team's staff also tested positive for the virus.
After the 76ers were defeated in a four-game sweep by the Boston Celtics during the opening round of the playoffs, head coach Brett Brown was relieved of his duties.

The team traded the 34th pick to the Atlanta Hawks in return for Jordan Bone and two upcoming second-round draft choices. Moreover, the selection at number 42 was dealt to the Washington Wizards for monetary compensation, coinciding with the trade of Jonathon Simmons.
