The 2020–21 season is the 122nd season of the English Football League (EFL) and the fifth season under that name after it was renamed from The Football League in 2016. For the eighth season running, the league was sponsored by Sky Betting & Gaming and therefore known as the Sky Bet EFL.

The EFL is contested through three divisions: the Championship, League One and League Two. The winner and the runner up of the Championship were automatically promoted to the Premier League and they were joined by the winner of the Championship playoff. The bottom two teams in League Two were relegated to the National League.

This season marked the extension by another two years of the league's partnership with official charity Mind. The mental health charity had its logo displayed on the shirts of all EFL clubs and worked with the EFL to promote mental health within football and the wider community.[1]
