The 2020 Utah State Aggies football team represented Utah State University in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Aggies played their home games at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah as members of the Mountain West Conference. Head coach Gary Andersen, who was in his second year back at Utah State (sixth overall), coached the first three games before he was fired after going 0–3.[2] Co-defensive coordinator Frank Maile was named interim head coach.[3] In a season limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Aggies finished the conference-only season 1–5 to finish in 11th place in Mountain West play.

Following the season, the school announced Arkansas State head coach Blake Anderson would become the team's new head coach.[4]

The final scheduled game of the season was canceled due to a Utah State player boycott.[5]
