The 2020 Army Black Knights football team represented the United States Military Academy as an independent in the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Black Knights were led by seventh-year head coach Jeff Monken and played their home games at Michie Stadium in West Point, New York

In a season impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Knights compiled a 9–2 regular season record. They defeated the Midshipmen of Navy and the Air Force Falcons to secure Army's ninth Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, their third in four seasons.

Following the completion of the 2019 season, reports surfaced that a staff shake-up was coming at Army. On December 20, reporter Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports initially reported that John Loose would be moved out of the defensive coordinator position to assistant head coach and that wide receivers coach Marcus Edwards would not return to the staff.{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1208141034858958848 |title=Sources: Staff shake-up coming at Army. They'll be a... |author=Pete Thamel |author-link=Pete Thamel |website=Twitter.com |date=December 20, 2019 |access-date=February 1, 2020}} On December 21, former beat reporter Sal Interdonato, now with Black Knight Nation, confirmed Thamel's information and added that defensive line coach Kevin Lewis and outside linebackers coach Matt Hachmann, both of whom joined the Army staff for the 2019 season, would not be returning in 2020.{{cite web |url=http://www.blackknightnation.com/uncategorized/coaching-staff-update/ |title=Coaching Staff Update |author=Sal Interdonato |publisher=Black Knight Nation |date=December 21, 2019 |access-date=February 1, 2020}}

This was confirmed on January 2, when Nate Woody was announced by head coach Jeff Monken as Army's new defensive coordinator (DC).{{cite web |url=https://goarmywestpoint.com/news/2020/1/2/football-nate-woody-named-army-defensive-coordinator.aspx |title=Nate Woody Named Army Defensive coordinator |publisher=USMA Athletic Department |date=January 2, 2020 |access-date=February 1, 2020}} He had previously spent the 2019 season as a defensive analyst for Michigan, helping the Wolverines to edge out Army in double overtime. Prior to that he was the defensive coordinator under Monken-mentor Paul Johnson at Georgia Tech in 2018, the DC at Appalachian State from 2013 to 2017 during their transition into the FBS, and the DC at Wofford from 2000 to 2012, who were fellow SoCon members with Jeff Monken-coached Georgia Southern. Included in the news of Woody's hire was that former DC John Loose would be elevated to Assistant head coach in addition to serving as a position coach.

On January 8, Troy announced that they had hired away assistant strength and conditioning (S&C) coach Rusty Whitt to be the new head football S&C coach for the Trojans.{{cite web |url=https://troytrojans.com/news/2020/1/8/rusty-whitt-tabbed-troy-football-strength-conditioning-head-coach.aspx |title=Rusty Whitt Tabbed Troy Football Strength and Conditioning Head Coach |publisher=Troy Athletic Department |date=January 8, 2020 |access-date=February 1, 2020}} Whitt had joined the Black Knights' staff for the 2019 season following nine seasons as the head S&C coach at Louisiana and Texas Tech.

On January 16, Sal Interdonato and Black Knight Nation reported that inside linebackers coach Kevin Corless, who had been on the Army staff since Monken's first year in 2014, would not be returning for the 2020 season.{{cite web |url=http://www.blackknightnation.com/uncategorized/coaching-staff-update-corless-not-returning-looses-position-duty/ |title=Coaching Staff Update: Corless not returning, Loose's position duty |author=Sal Interdonato |publisher=Black Knight Nation |date=January 16, 2020 |access-date=February 1, 2020}} Additionally, he reported that Greg Gasparato was expected to join the defensive staff.

John Loose, formerly the DC, was put in charge of the outside linebackers (OLB). Greg Gasparato, one of the new hires, was put in charge of the safeties (S).

Before that he served two stints as an assistant coach at Army, coaching the linebackers from 1995 to 1996 and the defensive backs from 1999 to 2000. He graduated from West Point in 1989 and played defensive back while at the academy.

On April 1, it was announced that Tenarius "Tank" Wright was hired as the new defensive line coach, coming to the Black Knights after spending two seasons as the Associate Director of Football Strength and Conditioning at Michigan.{{cite web |url=https://goarmywestpoint.com/news/2020/4/1/tank-wright-joins-football-staff-as-defensive-line-coach.aspx |title=Tank Wright Joins Football Staff as Defensive line coach |publisher=USMA Athletic Department |date=April 1, 2020 |access-date=July 23, 2020}} A 2012 graduate of Arkansas, where he played from 2008 to 2012, he was hired following the opening of an assistant coach position due to the departure of nickelbacks coach Josh Christian-Young to Tulane on March 3.{{cite web |url=https://tulanegreenwave.com/news/2020/3/3/football-fritz-adds-former-assistant-and-player-christian-young-as-defensive-backs-coach.aspx |title=Fritz Adds Former Assistant and Player, Christian-Young as Defensive backs coach |publisher=USMA Athletic Department |date=March 3, 2020 |access-date=July 23, 2020}}
