Schedule
UTSA announced its 2020 football schedule on January 8, 2020.[3] The 2020 schedule consisted of 6 home and 6 away games in the regular season.
The Roadrunners had games scheduled against Grambling State, LSU, Old Dominion, and Rice that were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][6]
On December 13, the Roadrunners accepted a bid to the Frisco Bowl, to face the SMU Mustangs.[7] However, on December 15, the bowl was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns within the SMU program, and UTSA accepted an invitation to the First Responder Bowl.[8]
