NCAA Season 95 was the 2019–20 collegiate athletic year of the National Collegiate Athletic Association of the Philippines. It was hosted by Arellano University. No overall championship title was awarded for this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.

Calendar

The customary opening basketball game between the season hosts and the defending champions was changed to the second game. Instead, 2019 third placers Letran and runners-up Lyceum played in the opening game on July 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena, with Arellano and San Beda playing in the main game of the doubleheader.^[1]

Second semester sports was rescheduled to give way to the country's hosting of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Women's lawn tennis was elevated as a regular sport, and a tournament for hado will be held, with the winner going to Japan representing the NCAA.^[2]

Several sports events were cancelled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. No overall championship title was awarded.^[3]
