Schedule

Toledo had a game scheduled against Michigan State on September 19, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] On August 8, 2020, the Mid-American Conference announced a cancellation of the fall football season, citing health and safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement also stated the intention for the conference to attempt to play the season in spring instead, as opposed to completely cancelling the 2020 season.
