COVID-19 Sports Cancellations

by | Jul 3, 2020

This list is no longer being updated with individual team cancellations. 

This tracked all the season and annual sports cancellations as they were announced through July 17, 2020. Due to the volume of conferences postponing and suspending, coupled with the inconsistent wording of terms like suspend and postpone, this list is no longer being updated with individual teams, it's just too unclear in many situations to understand if schools are completley sacking their fall sports or if they're hopeful to play in the spring. There's also teams that wish to compete on their own rather than follow their conference lead. 

To continue to track, here are two resources to follow: D1Ticker Google Doc | Adam Nelson's HoopDirt.com List

The link above contains the dropped and indefintley suspended sports. That list will continue to be updated as the verbiage with those teams is much clearer than how conferences and schools have been releasing their fall season postponement. 

A team is listed by its championship season. Some sports have split competition seasons, but the season that holds the championship is the season listed (i.e. tennis has fall competition, but it's a spring championship sport). This can sometimes vary by division.
