The 2021 Danish Cup final was played on 13 May 2021 between SønderjyskE and Randers FC at Ceres Park, Aarhus, a neutral ground.[1] Randers captured their second title in team history in the culmination of the 2020–21 Danish Cup, the 67th season of the Sydbank Pokalen.

SønderjyskE appeared in its second consecutive Sydbank Pokalen final, after capturing their first club title of any kind in 2020. Randers appeared in its third championship game, and its first since 2013. Randers is now 2–1 in Sydbank Pokalen finals, having won its other title in 2006.
