Each 2019–20 squad featured 15 players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas.[3] Australian marquees are players who held a national women's team contract at the beginning of the WBBL|05 signing period.[4][5]

The Heat made several personnel changes in the lead-up to the season:
