It was the first season for the UNLV Rebels football team at Allegiant Stadium. They played their first game there on October 31 against Nevada.

On August 10, 2020, the Mountain West Conference suspended all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

On September 24, 2020, the Mountain West Conference resumed all fall sports competitions.
