{{2021 West Coast Conference women's soccer standings}}

The 2021 BYU Cougars women's soccer team represented Brigham Young University during the 2021 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Cougars were coached for a 27th consecutive season by Jennifer Rockwood, who was co-coach in 1995 and became the solo head coach in 1996. Before 1995 BYU women's soccer competed as a club team and not as a member of the NCAA. Overall the Cougars have made the NCAA tournament in 21 of the 26 seasons that Rockwood has been the head coach. Joining Rockwood as assistant coaches are Brent Anderson (5th season){{cite web|url=http://universe.byu.edu/2017/01/13/new-byu-womens-assistant-soccer-coach-hired/|title=New BYU women’s assistant soccer coach hired|work=The Daily Universe|access-date=January 13, 2017}} and Steve Magleby (4th season){{cite web|url=https://www.deseretnews.com/article/865695356/BYU-soccer-Magleby-hired-as-assistant-womens-soccer-coach.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180706092949/https://www.deseretnews.com/article/865695356/BYU-soccer-Magleby-hired-as-assistant-womens-soccer-coach.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 6, 2018|title=Magleby hired as assistant women's soccer coach|work=Deseret News|access-date=January 25, 2018}} with volunteer assistants Rachel Jorgensen (7th season) and McKinzie Young (9th season). The Cougars come off of a season where they were second in the WCC and went 11–4–1, 7–1–1 in the WCC. Their lone conference loss came to eventual national champion Santa Clara, whom the Cougars beat in Santa Clara in a non-conference match. For the 2021 season BYU returned 10 starters, including defending WCC Offensive Player of the Year Mikayla Colohan, who was drafted by the Orlando Pride. Cameron Tucker, who recorded eight goals and eight assists in 2020–21, also returned. The others returning due to an extra year of eligibility granted due to the COVID-19 pandemic include goalkeeper Cassidy Smith, Grace Johnson and Mikaylie Call. The incoming class features six new athletes and no new transfers. The Cougars went on to share the WCC crown, advance to their first ever College Cup, and tied in the championship with Florida State before losing on penalties to finish as national runner–up.

Media

= Television & Internet Streaming =

Most BYU women's soccer will have a TV broadcast or internet video stream available. BYUtv and WCC Network will once again serve as the primary providers. Information on these television and streaming broadcasts can be found under each individual match.

= Nu Skin BYU Sports Network =

For an eighth consecutive season the BYU Sports Network will air BYU Cougars women's soccer games. Greg Wrubell will provide play-by-play for most games with Jason Shepherd filling-in when Wrubell has football or basketball duties. BYU Radio's KUMT station 107.9 FM will act as the flagship stations for women's soccer, though the BYU Sports App will carry a few games exclusively. For the national semifinal and championship SiriusXM's BYU Radio 143 station was added to provide a nationwide broadcast.
