2020 Villanova Wildcats football team


The 2020 Villanova Wildcats football team will represent Villanova University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They will be led by fourth-year head coach Mark Ferrante and will play their home games at Villanova Stadium. They will compete as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association.
On July 17, 2020, the Colonial Athletic Association announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conference is allowing the option for teams to play as independents for the 2020 season if they still wish to play in the fall.

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 2019 season 9–4, 5–3 in CAA play to finish in a tie for third place. They received an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs where they lost in the first round to Southeastern Louisiana.

Schedule

Villanova had games scheduled against Lehigh and Bucknell, but cancelled these games on July 13 due to the Patriot League's decision to cancel fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
