On 16 December 2020, Albion parted company with head coach Slaven Bilić, after winning one of the first 13 league games.^[3] Sam Allardyce was confirmed as his successor later that day, with the former England manager taking charge of his eighth Premier League club, a competition record.^[4]

West Brom were relegated back to the Championship, after just one season in the Premier League, following an away defeat to Arsenal on 9 May 2021.^[5] This equalled Norwich City's record of five Premier League relegations and was the first time that a team managed by Sam Allardyce had been relegated from the top flight.^[6]

Background

Prior to the start of the season, sports journalists were pessimistic about West Bromwich Albion's chances of surviving relegation. Phil McNulty, the BBC's chief football writer, thought that Albion would finish in 19th place,^[7] while Henry Winter of The Times also forecast relegation.^[8] The Guardian predicted a 20th-place finish, while identifying Matheus Pereira as Albion's key player.^[9]

Restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom created uncertainty surrounding the reintroduction of supporters to football stadia. As a result, the club did not issue full season tickets in 2020–21.^[10]

Albion unveiled three new kits for the season, designed in tribute to the "barcode" design worn by the club's promotion winning team of 1992–93.^[11] The home kit featured navy blue and white striped shirts, white shorts and navy blue socks,^[12] while the away colours comprised green and yellow striped shirts, green shorts and yellow socks.^[13] The third kit was made up of red and yellow stripes, red shorts and yellow socks.^[11] The kits were manufactured by Puma and were sponsored by Ideal Boilers.^[12] Alongside all other Premier League clubs, West Bromwich Albion's players wore a "No Room For Racism" badge on their shirts; this replaced the "Black Lives Matter" badges worn at the end of the previous Premier League season.^[14]
