The 2020–21 Donar season was the 49th season in the existence of the club. The club will play in the Dutch Basketball League (DBL) and Basketball Cup. It was the first season under head coach Ivan Rudež who was fired in April 2021 after disappointing results. He was replaced by Pete Miller. The season ended in more disappointment for Donar, as the team was eliminated early in the 2021 DBL Cup by Yoast United, and later in the playoffs semifinals by Heroes Den Bosch. This season was the first time since 2013 that Donar did not play in the DBL Finals.
Summary The 2019–20 season was abandoned early in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Donar had qualified for the Cup Final and was second in the DBL standings at the time. The DBL announced that the final against Aris Leeuwarden will be played later in the year 2020.
On 14 April 2020, Donar announced head coach Erik Braal's contract would not be extended in mutual consent. Braal won the most trophies in club history, with seven in total. On 17 April 2020, Ivan Rudež signed a three-year contract with Donar in the Netherlands.
