The 2020 Rhode Island Rams football team will represent the University of Rhode Island in the 2020 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They will be led by seventh-year head coach Jim Fleming and will play their home games at Meade Stadium. They will compete as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association.

On July 17, 2020, the Colonial Athletic Association announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conference is allowing the option for teams to play as independents for the 2020 season if they still wish to play in the fall.[1]
