Colchester's place in League Two for the 2021–22 season was confirmed on 1 May 2021 in their penultimate game of the season following a 1–0 win against Salford City.[5]
On 13 May, following the close of the 2020–21 season having led the U's to safety, Mullins was named permanent head coach of Colchester United.[6]
The club announced the retained list for the 2021–22 season on 14 May. Harry Beadle, Ryan Clampin, Sam Cornish, Billy Cracknell and Tom Eastman were offered new contracts, with Ben Stevenson and Michael Folivi awaiting contract decisions or discussions.[7][8]

Gillingham were the visitors for the next home friendly on 24 July, but the U's suffered a 2–0 defeat to their League One opponents.[25]
On 27 July, Colchester played out an entertaining 3–3 draw with local rivals Ipswich Town at the Community Stadium. Town took an early lead through Joe Pigott before former Ipswich man Tommy Smith headed the U's level. Former Colchester player Macauley Bonne scored for Ipswich to make it 2–1 but a header from another former Ipswich player Frank Nouble ensured the sides were level at the break. Summer signing Alan Judge put the hosts 3–2 up against his former club, but a late equaliser from Wes Burns ensured the game finished a draw.[26]
The U's played their final friendly game of pre-season on 31 July as they hosted Wealdstone. Noah Chilvers scored for Colchester, but a late penalty scored by Josh Umerah meant the match ended 1–1.[27]

The U's drew 0–0 with Ipswich Town on 9 November in their third and final EFL Trophy group match and lost 4–3 following a penalty shoot-out. This meant Colchester finished third in the group and were eliminated from the competition.[57] However the following day it was revealed West Ham Under-21s had been deducted three points for fielding a suspended player. This meant that Colchester would progress to the knockout stages by finishing the group in second place a point behind Ipswich with four points while West Ham were eliminated with three points.[58]
