The 2020–21 Premier League season was Aston Villa's 146th season in English football. It was the club's 26th season in the Premier League and their 107th season at the top flight. In addition to the domestic league, Aston Villa participated in the EFL Cup, being eliminated by Stoke City in the fourth round, and participated in the FA Cup, being eliminated by Liverpool in the third round.
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 Villa's home matches until the final day of the campaign.
Villa started the season with four successive league wins, matching a record which had stood since the 1930-31 season. Other notable statistics included inflicting a 7-2 victory over defending champions Liverpool, the most goals conceded in a single game by a defending champion since 1953.
