BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech Athletics Department and the Atlantic Coast Conference announced the Hokies' 2020 football schedule on Wednesday.
For the third consecutive season, the Hokies will have seven home games at Lane Stadium, including three contests in September and a Thursday night conference game against Boston College on Oct. 22. Big Ten opponent Penn State makes its first appearance in Blacksburg on Sept. 12 in the initial meeting between the Hokies and the Nittany Lions.
"We're excited about playing seven games at Lane Stadium once again," head coach
Justin Fuente said. "The squad is back on campus for the new semester and is beginning our winter conditioning program, as we continue our preparations for the 2020 season. We appreciate the support and encouragement of our fans wherever we play. We'll look forward to seeing our fans out in force once again in 2020."
