2019–20 Fortitudo Bologna season

Fortitudo Bologna returned to Italy’s top basketball division for the 2019–20 season after a ten-year absence.

After the demotion to the Legadue and immediately to the Serie A dilettanti in 2009, the team saw the bankruptcy in 2012. In 2013 the, Bologna, was re-established under the name of Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna 103 and slowly moved its way up to the today's Serie A after 10 years.

The promotion was achieved by winning the 2018–19 Serie A2 Basket.

The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title of winner to anyone.^[1] Fortitudo Bologna ended the championship in 8th position.
