2020 Myanmar National League starting lineup Hantharwady United 2–2 Ayeyawady United
At the end of the 2019 season, Hantharwady United appointed Myo Min Tun (former Yangon United coach) as their head coach. The team kicked off the 2020 Myanmar National League with a 1–0 win over Rakhine United at Bago, claiming an instant fourth spot. Since a win against Chin United in Week 3, Hantharwady United maintained its 1st position in the league for 15 consecutive weeks, until Week 18. During this time, Hantharwady United won 13 games, drew 1 and lost 2, while scoring 42 goals and conceding only 12. In the following week, Hantharwady United surprisingly lost to Magwe, which meant that the team shifted to 2nd place while Shan United took over after a long run of consecutive wins. Hantharwady United drew to Ayeyawady United in their last match of 2020 Myanmar National League, finishing as the runner-up behind the champions Shan United just by a point. The 18 year old winger Hein Htet Aung laid on the most assists (9 assists) while Ko Ko Naing kept the most cleansheets (9 cleansheets) in the league. In addition, the Ivorian forward Donald Bissa and Hein Htet Aung won 'Player Of The Month' award once each with coach Myo Min Tun also winning the 'Manager Of The Month' award twice.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, General Aung San Shield was postponed, meaning Hantharwady United were guaranteed a spot in the play-off round of 2021 AFC Cup, which will be their first appearance in a continental competition.
To prepare for the upcoming 2021 Myanmar National League and 2021 AFC Cup, Hantharwady United have signed the veteran goalkeeper Pyae Phyo Aung from Southern Myanmar and Ye Yint Aung from Yadanarbon More signings will be made upon coach Myo Min Tun's decision over the transfer window.
