Reynolds Stadium through March 15 and at O'Brate Stadium beginning March 20 as a member of the Big 12 Conference. They were led by head coach Josh Holliday, in his 8th season at Oklahoma State.

On March 13, the Big 12 Conference canceled the remainder of the season due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
