On July 20, 2020, the Southwestern Athletic Conference announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes the football program.[2] The conference is formalizing plans to conduct a competitive schedule for football during the 2021 spring semester.

Schedule

Due to the SWAC's postponement of the 2020 football season to spring 2021, games against Bethune–Cookman, Miami (OH), and Troy were canceled.[3][4]
