On July 16, 2020, the MEAC announced that it would cancel its fall sports seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league did not rule out the possibility of playing in the spring,[1] and later released its spring schedule on December 14, 2020.[2]

Schedule

Howard was scheduled to compete in the 2020 playing of the Black College Football Hall of Fame Classic against Central State on September 6, but the game was canceled before the start of the 2020 season.[3] Their game against Hampton was also canceled before the season began.[4]

Home and away games against South Carolina State, scheduled for March 6 and April 10, respectively, were canceled on March 2 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
