The season will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States; all of the Power Five conferences initially announced plans to play a fall football season beginning on August 29, but largely restricting their teams’ schedules to conference opponents only to reduce the extent of interstate travel with the ACC and Big 12 allowing one non-conference game. By early-August, the MAC, Mountain West, Big Ten, Pac-12, and several independents announced that they would postpone their football seasons to no earlier than spring 2021. The ACC, Big 12, and SEC still plan to play in the fall, while independent Notre Dame agreed to play a full conference schedule with the ACC.
The fall postseason is planned to conclude on January 11, 2021, with the College Football Playoff National Championship at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida; this will be the seventh season of the College Football Playoff championship system. The CFP announced that it would still go on with its rankings and games for teams playing in the fall as tentatively scheduled, and had no plans to accommodate the conferences moving to a spring season.
