The 2020 UAB Blazers football team represented the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) as a member of the West Division in Conference USA (C-USA) during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by fifth-year head coach Bill Clark, the Blazers compiled an overall record of 6–3 with a mark of 3–1 in conference play, winning C-USA's West Division title. UAB advanced to the C-USA Championship Game, where the Blazers defeated Marshall to capture the conference championship. They accepted a bid to the Gasparilla Bowl, but four games prior to the game, on December 22, the Blazers' opponent, South Carolina, withdrew from the bowl due to COVID-19 issues. As no replacement team was available, the bowl game was subsequently canceled. The team played home games at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.
