The Grizzlies finished the 2019 season 10–4, 6–2 in Big Sky play to finish in a three-way tie for third place. They received an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs where, after a first round bye, they defeated Southeastern Louisiana in the second round before losing to Weber State in the quarterfinals.

Schedule

Montana originally had a game scheduled against Central Washington (September 5), but it was cancelled on July 19 due to the GNAC's decision to cancel fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The Grizzlies' game against Morehead State (September 19) was cancelled on July 27 due to the Pioneer Football League's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
