On August 11, 2020, the Pac-12 canceled all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] On September 24, the Pac-12 announced that football teams would return to play a seven-game conference-only season beginning on November 6, with the conference championship game scheduled for December 18. [3]

The Huskies finished atop the North Division after canceling their game against Oregon, compiling a 3–1 record. On December 14, the Pac-12 announced that the Huskies would not play in the 2020 Pac-12 Football Championship Game, due to "neither having the minimum 53 scholarship student-athletes available for the game nor the minimum number of scholarship student-athletes at a position group" because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [4] On December 18, the Huskies announced that they would not pursue a bid to a bowl game. [5]

Schedule

Regular season

Washington's 2020 regular season was announced on January 16. [8] The Huskies had a game scheduled against Michigan on September 5, which was later canceled before the start of the 2020 season. [9] The Huskies canceled their other two non-conference games, scheduled against Sacramento State and Utah State, shortly thereafter due to the Pac-12 Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [10] The seven game Conference only schedule was announced October 3, 2020. [11]

On November 22, Washington's scheduled game at Washington State for November 27 was canceled after a COVID-19 outbreak within the Washington State program. [12] Two days later, the Pac-12 announced that Washington would instead host Utah on November 28; [13] the Utes' scheduled game at Arizona State had also been canceled after Arizona State had a COVID-19 outbreak.
