Schedule

Regular season

Arizona State announced its schedule on January 16, 2020.[4] The Sun Devils had games scheduled against Northern Arizona, UNLV, and BYU, but cancelled these games on July 10 due to the Pac-12 Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] On July 31, 2020, the Pac-12 Conference announced revisions to the schedule.[6]
