The West Virginia football spring "Blue-Gold game" was canceled due to COVID-19.

West Virginia released its 2020 schedule on October 21, 2019. The 2020 schedule originally consisted of 7 home games, 4 away games, and 1 neutral-site game in the regular season. The Mountaineers were to host two non-conference games against Eastern Kentucky and Maryland, and play a non-conference neutral site game against Florida State in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. West Virginia was to host Kansas State, TCU, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Baylor; and travel to Texas Tech, Texas, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State in regular-season conference play.

The Mountaineers' games against Florida State, scheduled for September 5, and Maryland, scheduled for September 19, were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web |last1=Myerberg |first1=Paul |title=Big Ten football reduces season schedule to only conference games, maybe setting stage for others to follow |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2020/07/09/big-ten-football-reduces-season-schedule-only-conference-games/5408329002/ |website=USA TODAY |access-date=10 July 2020}}{{cite web |last1=Kelley |first1=Kevin |title=All three Chick-fil-A Kickoff games canceled in 2020 |url=https://fbschedules.com/all-three-chick-fil-a-kickoff-games-canceled-in-2020/ |website=FBSchedules.com |access-date=30 July 2020 |date=30 July 2020}}
