The 1979–80 NBA season was the Kings 31st season in the NBA and their eighth season in Kansas City. Due to a June 1979 storm which caused the collapse of Kemper Arena's roof, the Kings were forced to play most of their home games at Municipal Auditorium, their Kansas City home during their first two seasons in the Midwest (the Kings split their home schedule between Kansas City and Omaha during the 1972-73, 1973–74 and 1974–75 seasons before settling in Kansas City full-time). The Kings were able to return to Kemper late in the season.
