The 2021 Forge FC season was the third season in the history of Forge FC. Forge were the defending league champions, having defeated HFX Wanderers FC in the 2020 Canadian Premier League Final. In addition to the domestic league, the club competed in the Canadian Championship and the CONCACAF League.

On November 2, Forge FC defeated Santos de Guápiles in the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF League to qualify for the 2022 edition of the CONCACAF Champions League, becoming the first Canadian Premier League club to do so.[1] The club eventually bowed out of the competition in the semi-finals against Motagua.[2]

On November 9, Forge defeated York United to clinch first place in the Canadian Premier League.[3] This secured Forge the CPL Regular Season title, an honour that the league announced it will recognize retroactively.[4]
