The Wildcats played their home games at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas , and competed in the Big 12 Conference . They were led by second-year head coach Chris Klieman .
After completing their regular season with a record of 4–6 (4–5 in conference play), the program announced on December 16 that it would not pursue a bid to a bowl game , "because of mounting COVID-19 issues on its roster."[ 1]

The Big 12 media days were held on July 21–22, 2020 in a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[ 2]
