Schedule

Miami will host four ACC conference opponents: Florida State, Pittsburgh, Virginia, and North Carolina to close out the ACC regular season. Miami will travel to five ACC conference opponents: Louisville, Clemson, NC State, Virginia Tech, and Duke. Miami is not scheduled to play ACC opponents Notre Dame, Boston College, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, and Syracuse. The Hurricanes bye week originally came during Week 5 (On October 3). However, due to COVID-19 problems in the organization, they had bye weeks during Week 12 (on November 21) and Week 13 (on November 28). Also due to COVID-19 problems, their game between Wake Forest and Georgia Tech were canceled.

Miami had games scheduled against Michigan State, Temple, and Wagner, which were all canceled before the start of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On July 29, the ACC announced every non conference game except one would be played in the 2020 season.
