Note: † Due to COVID-19, NC State suspended the 2020 women's fall soccer season. They did participate in the spring season.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC played a reduced schedule in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament was postponed to 2021.[1][2] The ACC did not play a spring league schedule, but did allow teams to play non-conference games that would count toward their 2020 record in the lead up to the NCAA Tournament.[3]

The Tigers finished the fall season 6–4–0, 5–3–0 in ACC play to finish in fourth place. As the fourth seed in the ACC Tournament, they lost to Duke 1–0 in the Quarterfinals. The Tigers finished the spring season 6–0–0 and received an at-large bid as the fourteenth seed in the NCAA Tournament. They defeated Rutgers and UCLA on penalties before losing to Santa Clara in the Quarterfinals to end their season.

Previous season

The 2019 Clemson women's soccer team finished the season with a 11–7–2 overall record and a 5–5–0 ACC record. The Tigers qualified for the ACC Tournament as the seventh-seed. The Tigers lost to Florida State in the Quarterfinals. The Tigers earned an at-large bid into the 2019 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament, for the seventh season in a row. As an unseeded team in the Florida State Bracket, Clemson defeated Vanderbilt on penalties before losing to UCLA to end their season.
