The 2020 West Texas A&M Buffaloes football team represented West Texas A&M University during the 2020–21 NCAA Division II football season as a member of the Lone Star Conference (LSC). The Buffaloes were led by fourth-year head coach Hunter Hughes and played their home games at Buffalo Stadium in Canyon, Texas.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season was shortened. The university announced that the football team would play during the fall with the intention of playing a maximum of five games. After the NCAA announced that it would be giving players an extra year of eligibility, the university announced that it was looking to expand the football schedule to ten games. The Buffaloes were one of the few LSC teams to play in fall 2020 instead of spring 2021. During the shortened season, the Buffaloes finished with a record of 3–3.

Schedule Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lone Star Conference announced that there would be no in-conference competition. The Buffaloes' 2020 schedule officially consisted of all non-conference games, with the games against fellow LSC member being considered non-conference matches.
