The 2020 Big 12 Conference football season is the 25th season of the Big 12 Conference football taking place during the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The season began on September 3 with non-conference play. Conference play began on September 19, 2020. The entire schedule was released on October 21, 2019.[1]

The 2020 season will be the ninth season for the Big 12 since the early 2010s conference realignment brought the Big 12 membership to its current form.

As a ten-team league, the Big 12 was scheduled to play a nine-game round-robin conference schedule and each member playing three non-conference games, one of which must be against a Power Five conference foe, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all power five conference games were canceled, and each team will only play one non-conference game. The regular season will be followed by a conference championship game between the regular-season champion and the regular season runner-up.

The 2020 Big 12 Championship Game was played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on December 19, 2020, and ended with Oklahoma claiming their sixth Big 12 title in a row by defeating the Iowa State Cyclones, 27–21.
