The ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) has officially canceled its 2019-2020 season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The league had previously suspended games on March 13 and determined that there was no safe way to complete the remaining fixtures.

While a shortened season was considered, travel restrictions and containment measures prevented the ABL from proceeding.

The ABL board decided the 2019-2020 season will be deemed concluded with no champion to be declared.

Mono Vampire, who led the team standings with a 12-4 record, will not be crowned champions.

The ABL will now focus on preparations for the 2021 season and will consult with teams before making further announcements.
