2020 Stanford Cardinal football team


The 2020 Stanford Cardinal football team will represent Stanford University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cardinal will be led by tenth-year head coach David Shaw. They will play their home games at Stanford Stadium and are members of the North Division of the Pac-12 Conference.

Previous season

They finished the 2019 season 4–8, 3–6 in Pac-12 play, to finish last place in the North Division. This was Stanford's worst record since 2007 and the first time that they did not earn bowl eligibility since 2008.

Schedule

Stanford had games scheduled against William & Mary, Notre Dame, and BYU, but cancelled these games on July 10 due to the Pac-12 Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
