The 2020 Kentucky Wildcats football team represented the University of Kentucky in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Wildcats played their home games at Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky, and competed in the East Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They were led by eighth-year head coach Mark Stoops.

In the preseason media poll, Kentucky was predicted to finish in fourth place in the East Division.

Kentucky had games scheduled against Eastern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, and Louisville, which were all canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was the first season since 1993 that the Wildcats did not play Louisville. As of on October 16, 2020, the SEC swapped two teams and the dates of when they played the Wildcats. This is because of an outbreak of COVID-19 among other competing SEC football teams. Missouri was rescheduled to be an away game on October 24, instead of an away game on the 31st, and Georgia at home on October 31 instead of the 24th.
