Cal's 2020 regular season was announced on January 16. [11] The Golden Bears had 3 games scheduled against UNLV, TCU, and Cal Poly, but canceled these games on July 10 due to the Pac-12 Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [12]
On August 11, the Pac-12 Conference canceled all Fall 2020 sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] However, following an agreement that boosted testing capacity for players and personnel, [13] the conference announced it would play a seven-game football schedule beginning in November. [14] The schedule would see Cal play all five division opponents, Arizona State from the Pac-12 South division, and a season-closing game against the equally-ranked team in the opposite division (the division winners will play each other in the conference championship, while the team that finishes second in the North division plays the team that finishes second in the South division).
On November 13, Cal's scheduled game at Arizona State for November 14 was canceled after a COVID-19 outbreak within the Arizona State program. [15] The Pac-12 then announced that Cal would instead play at UCLA on the morning of November 15; [16] the Bruins' scheduled game against Utah had also been canceled after Utah had a COVID-19 outbreak.
