Schedule
Miami will host four ACC conference opponents: Florida State, Pittsburgh, Virginia, and North Carolina to close out the ACC regular season. Miami will travel to five ACC conference opponents: Louisville, Clemson, NC State, Virginia Tech, and Duke. Miami is not scheduled to play ACC opponents Notre Dame, Boston College, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, and Syracuse. The Hurricanes bye week originally came during Week 5 (On October 3). However, due to COVID-19 problems in the organization, they had bye weeks during Week 12 (on November 21) and Week 13 (on November 28). Also due to COVID-19 problems, their game between Wake Forest and Georgia Tech were canceled.[1]
Miami had games scheduled against Michigan State, Temple, and Wagner, which were all canceled before the start of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] On July 29, the ACC announced every non conference game except one would be played in the 2020 season.
