The Mountain West has released a revised 2020 football schedule, which includes eight games against conference opponents only, with the exception of Air Force and San Diego State.
Air Force will only play six Mountain West opponents plus Army and Navy. San Diego State will play seven conference opponents and will play one non-conference game to be announced (UPDATE: San Diego State will play at BYU on Dec. 12).
The 2020 Mountain West football schedule will begin on the weekend of October 24 and culminate on Saturday, Dec. 19 with the Mountain West Football Championship Game. The top two teams with the highest conference winning percentage will play in the championship with no divisional delineation.
Opening weekend of the revised 2020 Mountain West football schedule is slated for Saturday, Oct. 24.
Today’s release represents the first phase in the 2020 football schedule process. Mountain West national television partners CBS Sports and FOX Sports will now initiate a selection procedure which will include the shifting of several games to Thursdays and Fridays. Additional announcements on television selections will be made in the near future. All games the first week will be played on Saturday, Oct. 24.
“We are excited to get our student-athletes back on the football field this fall,” said Commissioner Craig Thompson. “The shift away from a two-division format was necessary to optimize the schedule and allow for maximum flexibility given the various constraints which had to be considered. Inasmuch as the season begins with an uneven number of Conference games, and the possibility exists additional games may be lost to COVID-19 challenges, the procedures for determining the participants in and location for the MW Football Championship Game were adapted to accommodate a range of outcomes in as equitable a fashion as possible.”
