Schedule

Drake had a game scheduled against Hastings on September 3, which was later canceled before the start of the 2020 season.[1][2] A replacement game, scheduled for the same day, was announced against Black Hills State on July 14.[3] On July 27, that replacement game, along with Drake's scheduled games against North Dakota State and Dixie State, were cancelled due to the Pioneer Football League's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
