The 2020 Northwestern Wildcats football team will represent Northwestern University during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Wildcats will play their home games at Ryan Field in Evanston, Illinois and compete in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference. They will be led by 15th-year head coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 2019 season 3–9, 1–8 in Big Ten play to finish in last place in the West Division.

Schedule

Northwestern had games scheduled against Tulane, Central Michigan, and Morgan State, but cancelled these games on July 9 due to the Big Ten Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
