On the domestic front, Espérance de Tunis delivered two trophies out of possible four, winning the Ligue 1, in the last round after a late 2–1 win against US Ben Guerdane, and the 2020–21 Tunisian Super Cup, but they left the Tunisian Cup against CS M'saken after a 1–1 draw after 120 minutes and a 6–5 loss on penalties.
On the continental front, Espérance de Tunis left the Champions League from the quarter-finals after a surprise loss to ES Sétif with a score of 1–0 on aggregate.
