2020–21 Dundee F.C. season
The 2020–21 season will be Dundee's second season in the second flight of Scottish football since their relegation at the end of the 2018–19 season.[1]
Due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the teams in the Scottish Championship agreed to shorten the season to 27 games rather than the regular 36, with a provisional start date on 17 October 2020.[2][3]
