The 2021 Mississippi College Choctaws football team represented Mississippi College as a member of the Gulf South Conference (GSC) during the 2021 NCAA Division II football season. They were led by eighth-year head coach John Bland. The Choctaws played their home games at Robinson-Hale Stadium in Clinton, Mississippi.

Previous season[]

The Choctaws finished the 2020 season 0–1. On August 12, 2020, Gulf South Conference postponed fall competition in 2020 for several sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] A few months later in November, the conference announced that there will be no spring conference competition in football.[2] Teams that opt-in to compete would have to schedule on their own. The Choctaws only scheduled one official game against Tarleton State in spring 2021 for the 2020 season.[3]

Schedule[]

Mississippi College announced their 2021 football schedule on August 3, 2021.[4]
