The 2019–20 Portland Trail Blazers season was the franchise's 50th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Trail Blazers entered the season following a playoff defeat from the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[2]

On June 4, the Trail Blazers were one of 22 teams invited to the NBA Bubble.

On August 15, the Portland Trail Blazers clinched the 8th seed after defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in a play-in game. With the Blazers clinching a playoff berth, this was the 3rd consecutive season where 4 of 5 teams in the Northwest Division clinched the playoffs.

Despite their first losing season since the 2012–13 season, the Portland Trail Blazers are tied at 7 seasons with the Toronto Raptors with the 2nd most active playoff streak behind the Houston Rockets.

The Trail Blazers faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, marking the first meeting between the two teams in the playoffs since 2002. Despite a strong Game 1 victory, Damian Lillard was forced to leave the bubble after suffering a right knee injury in Game 4, and the Trail Blazers lost the series in 5 games.
