The 2021 World TeamTennis season was the 46th season of the top professional team tennis league in the United States.

All matches were held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California.

The season included five teams. Four teams that competed in 2020 (Philadelphia Freedoms, Vegas Rollers, Orlando Storm and Washington Kastles), did not participate during the year due to the revised format and the inability to host home matches, but were expected to return in the 2022 season.

The Orange County Breakers won their third King Trophy as WTT champions with a 21–13 win over the Springfield Lasers in the WTT Finals.

Competition format Each team played a 12-match regular-season schedule. The matches consisted of five sets, with one set each of men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles. The first team to reach five games won each set. A nine-point tiebreaker was played if a set reaches four games all. One point was awarded for each game won and scoring was cumulative. If necessary, Extended Play and a super tiebreaker were played to determine the winner of the match. The top two teams in the regular season will qualify for the WTT Finals on November 28. The winner of this final will be awarded the King Trophy.
