The 2020 Robert Morris Colonials football team will represent Robert Morris University during the 2020 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They will be led by third-year head coach Bernard Clark and play their home games at Joe Walton Stadium.

On June 15, 2020, Robert Morris announced that it would be leaving the Northeast Conference for the Horizon League in all sports except football, with the move set to happen officially on July 1, 2020. The football team will play as an FCS independent for the 2020 season before moving to the Big South Conference in 2021.[1][2] Robert Morris's 2020 football schedule will remain unchanged, meaning that all NEC opponents will lose a conference game.[3]

Schedule

Robert Morris released their football schedule on April 9, 2020.[4] A game against Hawaii (scheduled for September 26) was added on July 14, to compensate for Hawaii having to cancel four non-conference games due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] On July 15, Robert Morris's game against Bryant, scheduled for November 7, was cancelled due to Robert Morris's reclassification as an independent.[6] On July 27, Robert Morris's game against Dayton was cancelled due to the Pioneer Football League's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
