2020 Arkansas Razorbacks football team


The 2020 Arkansas Razorbacks football team will represent the University of Arkansas in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Razorbacks will play their home games at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This will be the first year since War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock opened that the Razorbacks will not play at least one home game in that stadium. Arkansas was scheduled to play the annual Red/White Spring Game at War Memorial in April at the conclusion of spring practice, but the SEC did not approve those plans. Arkansas will play as a member of the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference and will be led by first-year head coach Sam Pittman.

Previous season

The Razorbacks finished the 2019 season 2–10, 0–8 in SEC play, for the second consecutive year, to finish in last place in the Western Division. After the Razorbacks' tenth game of the season, a loss to Western Kentucky that dropped the Hogs to 2–8, second-year head coach Chad Morris was fired. He finished at Arkansas with a record of 4–18. Barry Lunney Jr. finished the season as interim coach and departed the program to serve as the offensive coordinator at UTSA after the season ended.
