‡ – 2020 ACC Tournament champion As of March 9, 2021 Rankings from United Soccer Coaches Source:The ACC Note: † Due to COVID-19, Boston College suspended the Fall 2020 men's soccer season; begins play in March.

The 2020 NC State Wolfpack men's soccer team represented North Carolina State University during the 2020 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The Wolfpack were led by head coach George Kiefer, in his fourth season. They played their home games at Dail Soccer Field in Raleigh, North Carolina. This was the team's 70th season playing organized college soccer.

The teams' 2020 season was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which curtailed the fall season and caused the NCAA Tournament to be played in Spring 2021. The ACC was one of the only two conferences in men's soccer to play in the fall of 2020. The ACC also held a mini-season during the spring of 2021.

Background

The 2019 NC State men's soccer team finished the season with an 9–7–3 overall record and a 3–4–1 ACC record. The Wolfpack were seeded fifth–overall in the 2019 ACC Men's Soccer Tournament, where they beat Duke in the first round, but lost to Pittsburgh in the second round. The Wolfpack earned an at-large bid into the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament, where they lost to Coastal Carolina in the first round in double overtime to end their season.
