The 2020 Old Dominion Monarchs football team would have represented Old Dominion University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season, being slated to compete in the East Division of Conference USA (C-USA). On August 10, the university canceled its football season, as well as all other fall sports competitions, due to the complications of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The Monarchs would have been led by first-year head coach Ricky Rahne and would have played their home games at S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Virginia.[2]
Previous season
The Monarchs finished the 2019 season 1–11, 0–8 in C-USA play, to finish in last place in the East Division. Following the end of the season, head coach Bobby Wilder resigned from his duties as the first overall coach for Old Dominion's re-established football program.[3]
