	< Previous season

The 2021 Colorado Rockies season is the franchise's 29th in Major League Baseball. It is their 27th season at Coors Field. On April 5, 2021, MLB announced that Coors Field would host the 2021 MLB All-Star Game after it was announced that Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia would not host it due to MLB's opposition on Georgia's new voting laws. On April 26, Rockies executive vice president/general manager Jeff Bridich resigned.^[1] The Rockies announced that executive vice president/chief operationg officer Greg Feasel would serve as the team's president/chief operating officer for the remainder of the season.^[2]

The Rockies started the season with a 6–33 record on the road, which is the worst start on the road in the live-ball era. They split or lost 16 consecutive road series between September 2020 and July 2021. Some fans have reignited concerns about poor adjustment to playing at a lower altitude when the Rockies are away from Coors Field.^{[citation needed]}
