The 2020 Arkansas Razorbacks football team represented the University of Arkansas as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Sam Pittman, the Razorbacks compiled an overall record of 3–7 with an identical mark in conference play, tying for sixth place at the bottom of the standings in the SEC's Western Division. The team played home games at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

This was the first season since War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock opened that the Razorbacks did not play at least one home game in the stadium. Arkansas was scheduled to play the annual Red/White spring game at War Memorial in April at the conclusion of spring practice, but the SEC did not approve those plans.

On October 3, Arkansas defeated No. 16 Mississippi State, 21–14, snapping a 20-game SEC losing streak. The win was the Razorbacks' first conference win since October 2017, their first win against a ranked team since November 2016, and their first road win against a ranked SEC team since November 2015. After the regular season, the Razorbacks accepted a bid to the Texas Bowl. Slated to face TCU, the bowl was canceled when TCU withdrew due to COVID-19 issues within their program.
