The 2021 FC Edmonton season was the club's tenth competitive season as well as their third in the Canadian Premier League.
Overview The 2021 season was very disappointing for FC Edmonton. Edmonton's average home attendance of 961 was by far the lowest in the league, and the team finished in 7th out of 8 teams. Additionally, the club shut down its academy. However, there were some bright spots, including young Canadian forward Easton Ongaro who became the league's all-time top goalscorer this season, and secured a transfer to Romania after the season ended.
Current squad As of July 6, 2021.
