The 2020–21 Calgary Flames season is the Flames' 41st season in Calgary, and the 49th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 6, 1972.[1] The Flames will attempt to make the playoffs for a third straight year after getting eliminated in the First Round of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs by the Dallas Stars and will attempt to make the playoffs for the fourth time in six years.

Due to the Canada-U.S. border restrictions brought in as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Flames were re-aligned with the other six Canadian franchises into the newly-formed North Division. The league's 56 game season is to be played entirely within the new divisions, meaning that Calgary and the other Canadian teams will play an all-Canadian schedule for the 2020–21 regular season as well as the first two rounds of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs.
