Schedule

Auburn announced its 2020 football schedule on August 7, 2019.[1] The 2020 schedule originally consisted of 7 home, 4 away, and 1 neutral game in the regular season.

The Tigers had games scheduled against Alcorn State, North Carolina, Southern Miss, and UMass, which were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In July, the SEC announced the non-confrence games would be canceled and only ten conference games would only be played.[2][3][4][5]
