The 2020 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team represented Texas Tech University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was led by Matt Wells in his second season as the program's 16th head coach. The Red Raiders played their home games on the university's campus in Lubbock, Texas at Jones AT&T Stadium, and competed as members of the Big 12 Conference. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the stadium's capacity was reduced to 25%.[1]

On December 14, just over a week after the team's game against Kansas, offensive coordinator David Yost was fired. The Red Raiders finished the season with the 60th ranked offense in FBS, averaging 29.1 points per game.[2]
