The 2020 UNLV Rebels football team represents the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rebels are led by first–year head coach Marcus Arroyo. They play their home games at Allegiant Stadium as a primary and Sam Boyd Stadium as a secondary. They are members of the Mountain West Conference.
This will be the first season for the UNLV Rebels football team at Allegiant Stadium. They will play their first game there on August 29, 2020 against California.
