The 2021 Capital Football season was the 68th season in Capital Football. The season commenced 10 April 2021.

The season was suspended from August from government-imposed lockdowns, due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia[1] and cancelled in September.[2]

Tigers FC were the NPL1 Premiers (based on a points per match formula rather than aggregate points), and qualified for the 2021 National Premier Leagues final series; they were also the Federation Cup winner, and qualified for the 2021 FFA Cup.
