The 2020–21 Club Atlético Boca Juniors season was the 92nd consecutive Primera División season for the senior squad. It was an unusual season, due to the suspension of all competitions in March 2020. The season did not have a Primera Division tournament; instead, the 2020 Copa de la Liga Profesional was played from October 2020 to January 2021, a cup that was conceived as a contingency competition after the schedule for a regular league season had been repeatedly delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The second competition was another national cup, the 2021 Copa de la Liga Profesional, from February to May 2021. Boca Juniors also took part in the Copa Argentina, winning the competition, as well as competing in the group stage and final stages of the 2020 Copa Libertadores, and the group stage of the 2021 Copa Libertadores.
