PBA finals chronology

This was third time that Barangay Ginebra and Meralco competed for the Governors' Cup championship in the span of four seasons. Barangay Ginebra won the two previous championships against Meralco in 2016 and 2017.

Due to the adjustments done in the season calendar to give way for the preparations of the Philippines men's national basketball team for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup and the Philippines' hosting of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, the finals series started on January 7, 2020.[2]
