2020 Big South Conference men's soccer season

The 2020 Big South Conference men's soccer season is the 37th season of men's varsity soccer in the conference. The season began on February 21 and concluded on April 8, 2021.

The season was originally scheduled to be played from August 28 to November 6, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the season
The COVID-19 pandemic widely disrupted all sporting activities across the NCAA, including men's soccer. Prior to the pandemic, the regular season was scheduled to begin on August 30, 2020 and conclude on November 6, 2020 culminating with the Big South Tournament in mid-November and the NCAA Tournament in late November into mid-December.

On July 22, 2020, the conference announced plans to begin the season during the fall 2020 semester, with a September 3 start date. On August 12, 2020, the conference reversed its decision, cancelling fall sporting activities, and targeting a spring 2021 semester start for all fall sports.

Details around the spring 2021 season became known on November 5, 2020 when the Big South Conference announced the schedule for the spring of 2021. Teams would play an eight-match conference schedule starting on February 21, 2021. Teams are permitted to schedule three non-conference matches, starting no earlier than February 14, 2021. The final game of the regular season is scheduled for April 8, 2021.

The tournament was reduced to four teams and will begin on April 12, 2021 and conclude on April 18, 2021.
