The 2020–21 season is Victoria Libertas Pesaro's 75th in existence and the club's 13th consecutive season in the top tier Italian basketball.

Overview

After the disastrous 2019-20 season where they ended at the last place before the official interruption of the championship due to the coronavirus pandemic, they had a serious risk of being relegated to the Serie A2. But, at the last moment, the management decided to keep the team in the Serie A.[1]
