The 2021 season is the 110th season of competitive association football in Victoria.

The season was disrupted due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, with the season being suspended in August 2021[1] from government-imposed lockdowns, and cancelled in September.[2] No Premiers were declared, and promotion and relegation was suspended until the following season.

However, as a result of a court challenge involving Avondale FC and Football Victoria, it was agreed that eight rounds of games from the 2022 NPL Season would also count towards the 2021 NPL league table, enabling sufficient matches to be played to "complete" the season, and be able to declare a Premier.[3]
