The 2020 OSU Cowboys football team will represent Oklahoma State University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cowboys will play their home games at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and will compete in the Big 12 Conference. They will be led by 16th-year head coach Mike Gundy.

Previous season

The Cowboys finished the 2019 season with an 8–5 record, 5–4 Big 12 play, losing the Texas Bowl to Texas A&M.

Offseason

Coaching changes

In January 2019, head coach Mike Gundy announced the hiring of Kasey Dunn to be the new offensive coordinator, replacing Sean Gleeson, who left to take an assistant coaching position at Rutgers. Dunn was promoted from his position as the Cowboys' wide receivers coach.^[1] Additionally, former Washington Redskins coach Tim Rattay was hired to take over Gleeson's role as quarterbacks coach.^[2]

Preseason

Big 12 media poll

The Big 12 media days will be held on July 21–22, 2020 in Frisco, Texas.

Schedule

Regular season

Oklahoma State released its 2020 schedule on October 22, 2019. The 2020 schedule consists of 7 home games and 5 away games in the regular season. The Cowboys will host 3 non-conference games against Oregon State, Tulsa, and Western Illinois. Oklahoma State will host Iowa State, Texas Tech, West Virginia, and Texas and travel to TCU, Kansas, Oklahoma, Baylor, and Kansas State in regular season conference play.

The Cowboys' scheduled game against Oregon State was later canceled before the start of the 2020 season due to the Pac-12 cancelling all non-conference games because of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[3]
