Matches [ ]
Wycombe's fixtures were announced on 24 June 2021.[28] Due to Derby County 's financial irregularities from previous seasons, an interchangeable fixture list was originally made between Derby County in the Championship and Wycombe Wanderers in League One in case of any retrospective points deductions to be awarded for the 2020–21 season.[29] However on 2 July 2021, it was confirmed that Wycombe Wanderers would remain in League One after the EFL decided not to appeal against the Independent Disciplinary Commission's ruling of a £100,000 fine against Derby County.[30]
