    Schedule and results

    This is the first season that Big 12 Now on ESPN+ will air a number of non-conference home games.[8] On April 22, 2020, it was reported that Iowa State would face DePaul as part of the Big 12-Big East Alliance.[9] It was later announced on June 9 that Iowa State would face Oregon in the semifinal round of the Emerald Coast Classic.[10] On October 5, the tournament was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[11]

    Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the start of the season will be pushed back from the scheduled start of November 10.[12] On September 16, the NCAA announced that November 25 would be the new start date.[13]

    On November 9, Iowa State announced their home, non-conference schedule.[14] On December 6, 2020, the home contest with DePaul was canceled an hour before tipoff. [15]
