^ – NCAA Division III playoff participant

The 1980 UCF Knights football season represented the University of Central Florida (UCF) as an independent during the 1980 NCAA Division III football season. Led by second-year head coach Don Jonas, the Knights compiled a record of 4–4–1, including the programs only tie, against Miles.^[1] UCF played their home games at Orlando Stadium in downtown Orlando, Florida.

UCF's 1980 record is mildly disputed. The Carson–Newman Eagles (NAIA) were forced to forfeit their opening day 30–21 victory^[2] over the Knights due to an ineligible player.^[3] The official NCAA Statistics (possibly by error) maintain UCF's 1980 full season record as 3–5–1,^[4] However, the school^[5]^[6] and local media^[7] claim a record of 4–4–1, interpreting the Eagles forfeit as a Knights win.
