The 2020–21 Chicago Blackhawks season was the 95th season for the National Hockey League franchise, established on September 25, 1926.[1] Jeremy Colliton led the Blackhawks in his second full year as head coach.

On December 20, 2020, the league announced a shortened 56-game season and realignment into four divisions with no conferences for the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the Canada–United States border.[2][3] As a result of this realignment, the Blackhawks remained in the Central Division and only played games against the teams in their realigned division during the regular season.[4]

On May 3, the Blackhawks were eliminated from playoff contention after a 5–2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.[5]

Blackhawk captain Jonathan Toews missed the entire season due to an undisclosed injury, later revealed to be chronic immune response syndrome.[6]

The season also marked the last season with the Blackhawks for defenseman Duncan Keith who was traded after the season.[7]
