On July 17, 2020, the Colonial Athletic Association announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conference allowed the option for teams to play as independents in the fall of 2020.[1]

Schedule

Albany originally had a game scheduled against Delaware State (September 5), but it was canceled on July 16 due to the MEAC's decision to cancel fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The CAA released its spring conference schedule on October 27, 2020.[3] On March 31, 2021, Albany canceled their remaining games due to injuries.[4]
