The 2021 Indiana Fever season was the franchise's 22nd season in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The regular season tipped off on May 14, 2021 at the New York Liberty.[1]

The Fever started the season by losing four games before winning their first game on May 23. The team then went on a twelve game losing streak, which included going 0–8 during the month of June. However, before the Olympic break, the Fever won three straight games, to end the first portion of the season with a 4–16 record. They lost the first two games in August coming out of the Olympic break, but won two of the next three. The Fever could not maintain that momentum in the final month of the season, finishing 0–7 in September. Their final record of 6–26 matched their win total from last year's shortened season. Their .188 winning percentage was the third lowest in franchise history, only ahead of the 2018 season and 2022. This was the third time in four years the team finished with only 6 wins.
