The 2021–22 Norwich City F.C. season was the club's 120th season in existence and the first season back in the Premier League. In addition to the domestic league, Norwich City also participated in this season's editions of the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

BK8 Sports shirt sponsorship On 7 June 2021, Norwich City announced that they had terminated the shirt sponsorship with existing sponsor Dafabet and signed a new club record deal with betting firm BK8 Sports. Within hours of the announcement pressure from fans forced BK8 Sports to remove adult content from their social media accounts. Continued pressure from fans and fans groups led to the club and the betting firm cancelling the deal by mutual consent on 10 June. On 25 June the club announced Lotus Cars as their front of shirt sponsor for the 2021–22 Premier League season. JD Sports followed as shirt sleeve sponsor on 9 July.
