The 2020 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was coached by third-year head coach Scott Frost and played their games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, as members of the West Division in the Big Ten Conference.[2]
On August 11, 2020, the Big Ten Conference suspended all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The team disclosed an attempt to play a fall football season as an independent, but Commissioner Kevin Warren stated they could not do so without facing consequences. In late-August, a group of Nebraska players also sued the Big Ten, alleging that its council did not actually vote on the postponement.[4][5] On September 16, the Big Ten reinstated the season, announcing an eight-game season beginning on October 24.[6]
After playing to a 3–5 record, all in conference games, the team announced on December 20 that it would not participate in any bowl game.[7]
