The 2020–21 season was the 143rd season in the history of the English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club competed in the Premier League for the third consecutive season and also participated in this season's edition of the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

The entire season took place against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated the players' compliance with strict restrictions on contact as well as a lack of fans at all Wolves' home matches until the final day of the campaign.{{cite news |url=https://www.premierleague.com/news/2129514|title=PL statement on the return of fans to matches|publisher=Premier League|date=5 May 2021}} The team also had to contend with several long-term injuries,{{cite news |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11699/12266957/jonny-otto-wolves-defender-out-for-season-after-suffering-acl-injury|title=Jonny Otto: Wolves defender out for season after suffering ACL injury|publisher=Sky Sports |date=5 April 2021}}{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56724334|title=Pedro Neto: Wolves forward out for rest of the season with knee injury|publisher=BBC Sport |date=12 April 2021}} including the leading goalscorer of the previous seasons, Raúl Jiménez, who suffered a fractured skull during an aerial collision in a 2–1 win at Arsenal on 29 November 2020.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55125293|title=Raul Jimenez: Wolves striker has surgery on fractured skull after David Luiz head clash|publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 November 2020}}

With this victory, the team moved into 6th place in the table, but their results deteriorated afterward in Jiménez's absence for the remainder of the campaign and they eventually finished in 13th place, representing a decline compared to the previous two seventh-place finishes. Two days prior to the end of the league season, the club had announced that head coach Nuno Espírito Santo would be leaving by "mutual consent" after the final game following four years at the helm.{{Cite news|title=Nuno set to leave Wolves|url=https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/club/20210521-nuno-set-to-leave-wolves/ |publisher=Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C|date=21 May 2021}}
