The 2020–21 season was the 101st season in the existence of Valencia CF and its 86th consecutive season in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football. In addition to the domestic league, Valencia participated in this season's edition of the Copa del Rey. The season covered the period from 20 July 2020 to 30 June 2021, with the late start to the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.
The season was the first since 2010–11 without former captain Dani Parejo, who departed to Villarreal, and the first since 2013–14 without Rodrigo, who departed to Leeds United.
