Schedule
editWyoming 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]
