Schedule

[edit]

Richmond's 2020–21 non-conference schedule was planned to include 8 games, although adjustments due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancelation of three games.

In the Atlantic 10 portion of the schedule, Richmond was scheduled to play a total of 18 games, including home and away games against VCU, George Washington, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and George Mason. In addition, Richmond was scheduled to host Fordham, Davidson, St. Joseph's and La Salle and travel to St. Bonaventure, Duquesne, Dayton, and Saint Louis. The Fordham and Davidson games, as well as the home Massachusetts game, were postponed and ultimately canceled due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
