Schedule

Maryland had games scheduled against Towson, Northern Illinois, and West Virginia, but canceled these games on July 9 following the Big Ten Conference's decision to play a 10-game conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] This 10 game, conference-only schedule was later canceled and replaced by a nine-game, conference-only schedule beginning in late October.[9] Teams not selected to participate in the Big Ten Football Championship Game were scheduled to play a ninth consolation game on December 19, seeded by performance in the first eight games.[10]

On November 11, the school announced that the November 14 game against Ohio State had been canceled as all team-related activities were paused because of an elevated number of coronavirus cases within the Terrapins' program.[11] Subsequently, the game against Michigan State was also canceled, then rescheduled in the December 19 consolation game slot, before being canceled again due to further coronavirus cases.[12][4] On December 2, it was announced that the December 5 game against Michigan had been canceled.[13]
