Schedule[]
Wyoming announced its 2020 football schedule on February 26, 2020.[14] The 2020 schedule consisted of 6 home and 6 away games in the regular season. On August 10, 2020, the Mountain West Conference announced the suspension of the football season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][15] On September 25, the Mountain West Conference announced that they would be playing an eight-game schedule, to start October 24. The team's non conference games against Weber State, Louisiana, Utah, and Ball State remained canceled. Additionally, a game against Hawaii replaced a game against San Diego State. On November 8, the scheduled November 14 game against Air Force was canceled by the Mountain West Conference due to an uptick in COVID–19 cases within the Air Force football team and Academy.[16] On November 18, the scheduled November 19 game against Utah State was canceled by the Mountain West Conference due to rising COVID–19 cases in the Utah State program.[17]
