The 2020 Jackson State Tigers football team will represent Jackson State University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Tigers will be led by second-year head coach John Hendrick and will play their home games at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, Mississippi as 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 Florida A&M, Langston, Southern Miss, and Tennessee State were canceled.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
