The 2020 Georgetown Hoyas men's soccer team represented the Georgetown University during the 2020 NCAA Division I men's soccer season and the 2020 Big East Conference men's soccer season. The regular season began on February 16, 2021 and is set to conclude on April 10.[1] It was the program's 69th season fielding a men's varsity soccer team, and their 25th season in the Big East Conference. The 2020 season was Brian Wiese's 14th year as head coach for the program.[2]

Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big East postponed the fall sports, with the hope of playing in the spring.[3][4]

On November 4, 2020, the NCAA approved a plan for college soccer to be played in the spring.[5] The Big East announced their plans for the spring season in January 2021.[6]
