Schedule[]

Navy had games scheduled against Lafayette and Notre Dame which were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[7]^[8] The game against Notre Dame was originally scheduled to be played at Aviva Stadium in Dublin as the Emerald Isle Classic, but was rescheduled and moved back to the United States due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.^[9] It was later canceled entirely when the Fighting Irish, playing as part of the ACC for the first time, chose Western Michigan as their one non-conference opponent for the season (which was itself canceled when the MAC canceled fall sports). The South Florida game, originally scheduled for November 21, was declared a no-contest following Covid issues with the Bulls' team.
