Rankings from AP Poll

The 2020 UNLV Rebels football team represents the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rebels are led by first–year head coach Marcus Arroyo. They play their home games at Allegiant Stadium as a primary and Sam Boyd Stadium as a secondary. They are members of the Mountain West Conference.[2]

This will be the first season for the UNLV Rebels football team at Allegiant Stadium. They will play their first game there on August 29, 2020 against California.

Due to scheduling issues with the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, UNLV moved its September 5, 2020 home game to Sam Boyd Stadium.[3]

The 2019 UNLV Rebels football team went 4–8 overall and 2–6 in conference play last year for the second straight year and did not qualify for a bowl game last season. Head coach Tony Sanchez was replaced by Marcus Arroyo, the former offensive coordinator at Oregon.
