The 2021 Ottawa Redblacks season is scheduled to be the seventh season for the team in the Canadian Football League. The Redblacks will attempt to qualify for the playoffs following 2019's absence and improve upon their league-worst 3–15 record.[1]

The team will attempt to win the second Grey Cup in franchise history and 11th in professional Ottawa football history. This is scheduled to be the first season for Paul LaPolice as the team's head coach and the seventh season with Marcel Desjardins as general manager.
