The Sri Lanka cricket team toured England in June and July 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. On 4 June 2021, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) named a 24-man squad to tour England. The tour was initially thrown into doubt the next day, when 38 players signed a statement refusing to sign tour contracts with SLC. After an agreement was reached with the players, SLC confirmed that the tour would go ahead as planned.
England won the first two T20Is, by eight wickets and five wickets, respectively, to win the series with a game to spare. England went on to win the final T20I by 89 runs, winning the series 3–0. England also won the first two ODI matches to win the series. The third ODI finished as a no result, after the match was washed out following the completion of Sri Lanka's innings.
