Listed in the order that they were released

Although the Big Ten Conference has not held an official preseason poll since 2010, Cleveland.com has polled sports journalists representing all member schools as a de facto preseason media poll since 2011. For the 2020 poll, Wisconsin was projected to finish first in the West Division.{{cite web|url=https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2020/07/ohio-state-voted-2020-big-ten-favorite-in-clevelandcom-preseason-poll.html|title=Ohio State voted 2020 Big Ten favorite in cleveland.com Preseason Poll|date=Jul 31, 2020|website=The Plain Dealer|first=Nathan|last=Baird}}

The Badgers 2020 schedule originally consisted of six home games, four away games, and two neutral site games. The Badgers would have hosted two of its three non-conference games at Camp Randall; the first on September 12 against Southern Illinois from the Missouri Valley, then the next week on September 19, playing Appalachian State, a member of the Sun Belt Conference. The last non-conference matchup on October 3 was a primetime game guaranteed to air on NBC against Notre Dame as part of the Fighting Irish's neutral-site Shamrock Series at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, with Notre Dame as the designated home team.

The Big Ten Conference canceled all non-conference games on July 9 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}} the day before, the November 7 away game at Northwestern was moved from the neutral site Wrigley Field in Chicago back to Ryan Field in Evanston.{{cite news|url=https://wkow.com/2020/07/08/badgers-wrigley-field-game-moved-back-to-northwesterns-ryan-field/|title=Badgers’ Wrigley Field game moved back to Northwestern’s Ryan Field|date=8 July 2020|work=Associated Press|publisher=WKOW|access-date=11 July 2020}} Both Notre Dame and Wisconsin plan to fulfill their contract and play the Lambeau Field game in a subsequent season.{{cite news|url=https://www.uhnd.com/football/2020/07/10/notre-dame-wisconsin-at-lambeau-reschedule-not-likely-until-at-least-2026/|title=A Notre Dame – Wisconsin at Lambeau Reschedule Not Likely Until At least 2026|last=Vitovitch|first=Frank|date=10 July 2020|publisher=UHND.com|access-date=11 July 2020}}

On November 25, Wisconsin's game vs. Minnesota was canceled, leaving the team with only 5 games maximum and thus making the Badgers no longer eligible for the 2020 Big Ten Football Championship Game.

In Big Ten Conference play, Wisconsin will play all members of the West Division, and draws Indiana, and Michigan from the East Division.
