2020 Penang FA season

The 2020 season is Penang's 94th competitive season, 3rd consecutive season in the second tier of Malaysian football since relegated in 2017, and 99th year in existence as a football club. The season covers the period from 1 December 2019 to 30 November 2020. After spending the season mostly at the top of the league table, Penang were promoted to the Super League on 20 September. Two weeks later, Penang won the Malaysia Premier League for the first time in the club's history after Kuala Lumpur failed to get three points against Perak II.
