The 2020âÂÂ21 NCAA Division II football season was the component of the 2020 college football season organized by the NCAA at the Division II level in the United States. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only a few games were played during the traditional fall season. For other teams that chose to play during the 2020âÂÂ21 school year, the regular season began on February 27, 2021, and culminated on April 25.
The season concluded with the end of the regular season, as the playoffs and championship game were not held due to the pandemic.
Only four conferences (GLVC, G-MAC, Mountain East and SAC) and two independents (Barton and Erskine) decided to play the season. All of them played a spring schedule. GAC, GLIAC, GNAC, Gulf South, Lone Star, MIAA, PSAC, RMAC and SIAC cancelled their football season, but some of their teams decided to play. Standings do not count games designated as exhibitions/scrimmages, only games in a school's official statistics.
The following conferences did not hold a football season in fall 2020 or spring 2021, and none of their members opted to play independently.
