American college football season
The 2020 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season . Arizona was led by third-year head coach Kevin Sumlin , in the Wildcats' 121st season. The Wildcats played in the South Division (11th season) of the Pac-12 Conference , and played their home games at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona (93rd season).
On August 11, the Pac-12 Conference initially canceled all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[ 2] On September 24, the conference announced that a six-game conference-only season would begin on November 6, with the Pac-12 Championship Game to be played December 18.

On December 12, 2020, Sumlin was fired after three seasons following a 70–7 loss to ASU in the Territorial Cup on December 11, 2020. He finished at Arizona with an overall record of 9–20 and 6–17 against the Pac-12. On December 23, 2020, the University of Arizona hired Jedd Fisch as the 32nd head coach.

Arizona committed seven turnovers as Arizona State scored 70 points, the most points scored in the history of the Territorial Cup.[ 14] The Wildcats used three different quarterbacks in the game, none of which broke 100 yards passing; Will Plummer finished 7-of-13 for 83 yards, Grant Gunnell went 12-of-17 for 78 yards with one interception and one lost fumble, and Rhett Rodriguez finished 7-of-16 for 52 yards with two interceptions. Running back Gary Brightwell lost three fumbles. The defeat was so devastating that head coach Kevin Sumlin was fired the following day.
