The 2021 MPBL finals, originally called the 2020 MPBL finals and also known as the MPBL Lakan Cup finals, was the championship series of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League's (MPBL) 2019–20 MPBL season, and the conclusion of the season's playoffs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league held the entire series in a bubble in Subic, Zambales.[1][2] In the best-of-five playoff that saw a rematch of the previous season's finals, the South Division champion Davao Occidental Tigers beat the North Division champion San Juan Knights, 3–1, as they were crowned the league's third champions. Mark Yee was also named the season's Finals MVP.[3]

Both teams finished with the first seed in their respective divisions with a record of 26–4, but San Juan beat Davao Occidental in their regular season match-up. As of 2023, it is the last finals appearance for both teams.
