Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2020 Alcorn State Braves football team will represent Alcorn State University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Braves will be led by fifth-year head coach Fred McNair and will play their home games at Jack Spinks Stadium. They will be members of the East Division of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).

On July 20, 2020, the Southwestern Athletic Conference announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes the football program.[1] The conference is formalizing plans to conduct a competitive schedule for football during the 2021 spring semester.

Schedule

Due to the SWAC's postponement of the 2020 football season to spring 2021, games against Auburn, Fort Valley State, and Virginia–Lynchburg were canceled.[2]
