The 2020 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers football team represented Coastal Carolina University as a member of the East Division of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by third-year head coach Jamey Chadwell, the Chanticleers compiled an overall record of 11âÂÂ1 with a mark of 8âÂÂ0 in conference play, winning the Sun Belt East Division title. Coastal Carolina was scheduled to play Louisiana, champion of the Sun Belt's West Division, in the Sun Belt Conference Football Championship Game on December 19, but the game was cancelled, and two teams were declared co-champions of the conference. The Chanticleers were invited to the Cure Bowl, where they lost in overtime to Liberty. Coastal Carolina played home games at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina.
Coastal Carolina had games against Duquesne, Eastern Michigan, and South Carolina, which were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These were partially replaced with games against Campbell and Liberty. On December 3, due to COVID-19 issues in the Liberty football program, the game against Liberty was canceled and replaced with BYU.
Coastal's originally scheduled opponent for this week was Liberty, which was forced to cancel the game due to COVID-19 issues. BYU, which had been looking to add a game for this week, was booked as the Flames' replacement.
Postponed from originally scheduled date of November 14.
