Their head coach was Anthony Grant, in his fourth season with the Flyers.

The Flyers played their home games at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference.

They defeated Rhode Island in the second round in the A10 Tournament before losing to VCU in the quarterfinals.

Grant was named consensus national coach of the year while sophomore Obi Toppin became Dayton's first consensus first-team All-American and earned the majority of major college player of the year awards, including the Naismith College Player of the Year and the John R. Wooden Award.

The season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic prior to the Flyers’ first game of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
