Note: † Due to COVID-19, NC State suspended the 2020 women's fall soccer season. They did participate in the spring season.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC played a reduced schedule in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament was postponed to 2021.[1][2] The ACC did not play a spring league schedule, but did allow teams to play non-conference games that would count toward their 2020 record in the lead up to the NCAA Tournament.[3]

The Hurricanes finished the fall season 0–8–0, 0–8–0 in ACC play to finish in a thirteenth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament. They finished the spring season 1–2–1 and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.

Previous season

The Hurricanes finished the season 5–9–2 overall, and 2–7–1 in ACC play to finish in eleventh place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
