Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2020 Prairie View A&M Panthers football team will represent Prairie View A&M University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Panthers will be led by third-year head coach Eric Dooley and play their home games at Panther Stadium at Blackshear Field in Prairie View, Texas as members of the West 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.

Previous season

The Panthers finished the 2019 season 6–5, 4–3 in SWAC play to finish in third place in the West Division.

Schedule

Due to the SWAC's postponement of the 2020 football season to spring 2021, games against Louisiana Tech, Northwestern State, and TCU were canceled.[2] The SWAC released updated spring schedules on August 17.[3]
