The 2020 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represented Virginia Tech during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Hokies were led by fifth-year head coach Justin Fuente and played their home games at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia, competing as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

Contents

After completing their regular season with a 5–6 record (5–5 in ACC play), the program announced on December 16 that players had voted to end their season and would not consider a bid to a bowl game. [1] The Hokies had appeared in a bowl game for 27 consecutive seasons, dating back to the 1993 Independence Bowl. [1] This was fourth-longest streak of consecutive bowl game appearances in college football history. [2]
