Cincinnati had a sixth home game againstWestern Michigan and two away games scheduled againstNebraska andMiami (OH), which were canceled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.^[8]^[9] This was the first season since 1944 that the Bearcats did not play Miami (OH) in the battle for theVictory Bell. To replace the canceled games, Cincinnati added a series againstArmy with a return game at Army scheduled for 2031.^[10]

The game between Tulsa and Cincinnati was originally scheduled to take place on October 17, however, due to COVID-19 management requirements in response to positive tests and subsequent quarantine of individuals within the Cincinnati program, the game was eventually rescheduled for December 12.^[11]^[12]^[13]
