The 2021 Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol Serie A, known as the LigaPro Betcris 2021 for sponsorship purposes,{{cite web|url=https://studiofutbol.com.ec/2021/04/16/video-ligaprobetcris-betcris-es-el-nuevo-auspiciante-de-la/|title=(VIDEO) Betcris es el nuevo auspiciante de la LigaPro|language=es|publisher=Studio Fútbol|date=16 April 2021|access-date=17 April 2021}} was the 63rd season of the Serie A, Ecuador's top tier football league, and the third under the management of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol del Ecuador (or LigaPro). The season began on 19 February and ended on 12 December 2021.{{cite web|url=http://www.ecuagol.com/ecuagol/index.php?n=165601|title=LigaPro 2021 ya tiene fecha de inicio|language=es|publisher=Ecuagol|date=5 January 2021|access-date=28 January 2021|archive-date=27 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127160448/http://www.ecuagol.com/ecuagol/index.php?n=165601|url-status=dead}}

Independiente del Valle were the champions, winning their first league title by defeating Emelec in the finals by a 4–2 aggregate score.{{cite web|url=https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/campeonato-ecuatoriano/en-vivo-emelec-vs-independiente-del-valle-final-ecuador-liga-pro-2021-nota/|title=Independiente del Valle, campeón de la LigaPro 2021; superó en el marcador global 4-2 a Emelec|language=es|publisher=El Universo|date=12 December 2021|access-date=13 December 2021}} Barcelona were the defending champions, having won the previous season.

Format

On 1 January 2021, LigaPro president Miguel Ángel Loor confirmed that the 2021 season would be contested by 16 teams and the competition would be played under the same format as the previous season.{{cite web|url=https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/2021/01/01/nota/9170044/ligapro-2021-arrancaria-ultima-semana-febrero-asegura-presidente|title=LigaPro 2021 arrancaría entre 19 y 27 de febrero, plantea el presidente|language=es|publisher=El Universo|date=1 January 2021|access-date=28 January 2021}} Three stages were played, with the first and second ones to be played as single round-robin tournaments with all teams playing each other once for a total of 15 matches per stage. The first stage fixture was reversed for the second stage, and the top teams at the end of each stage qualified for the final stage as well as the Copa Libertadores group stage. The finals were a double-legged series between the winners of both stages with a penalty shoot-out deciding the champion in case of a tie in points and goals scored. In case a team won both stages of the season, the finals would not be played and that team would win the championship.

An aggregate table including the matches of both the first and second stages was used to decide international qualification and relegation, with the best two teams (other than the stage winners) qualifying for the Copa Libertadores, the next best three teams qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana, while the remaining Copa Sudamericana berth would be awarded to the champions of the 2021 Copa Ecuador, which was eventually cancelled.{{cite web |title=OFICIAL: NO se realizará la Copa Ecuador en el 2021 |url=https://studiofutbol.com.ec/2021/08/24/oficial-no-se-realizara-la-copa-ecuador-en-el-2021/ |publisher=Studio Fútbol |access-date=26 August 2021 |language=es |date=24 August 2021}} The bottom two teams of the aggregate table at the end of the season will be relegated to Serie B.

Teams

16 teams competed in the season. LDU Portoviejo and El Nacional were relegated after finishing in the bottom two places of the aggregate table of the previous season, being replaced by 2020 Serie B champions 9 de Octubre and runners-up Manta.
