The 2021 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 139th season in the history of the franchise, and its 18th season at Citizens Bank Park. With a loss to the Braves on September 30, they were eliminated from postseason contention for the tenth straight season. This was the first season since exactly a decade earlier in 2011 when the Phillies would finish a season with a winning record, which they clinched with a 5–0 victory over the Miami Marlins on October 1.

Acquisitions
The Phillies' first offseason acquisition was right-hand pitcher Ian Hamilton, who was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners on December 7.[9] Three days later, on December 10, the team selected New York Yankees shortstop Kyle Holder in the Rule 5 Draft.[10]
Coaching changes
Pitching coach Bryan Price retired in October 2020, one season into a three-year deal. The Phillies hired former Cincinnati Reds assistant pitching coach Caleb Cotham in his stead; the hire was formally announced on November 20, 2020.[11] The Phillies finalized their pitching staff on January 11, 2021, with two additional changes: assistant pitching coach Dave Lundquist became the bullpen coach, leaving his old position vacant, and former advanced scouting manager Mike Calitri became the quality assurance coach.[12]
Return to in-person attendance
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no fans were in attendance at any MLB games in 2020 until the National League Championship Series.[13] On November 12, 2020, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred said that the MLB would be "more aggressive" about having fans in ballparks, but that in-person attendance was still dependent on local public health authorities.[14] On March 2, the City of Philadelphia announced that, beginning on Opening Day, Citizens Bank Park would be allowed to host fans at 20% capacity (8,800 attendees).[15] Citizens Bank Park implemented a new set of rules for all game attendees, including a face mask requirement, a ban on backpacks and purses, and the use of cashless payments at concession stands and team stores.[16] Additionally, attendees were to be seated in "pods" of between two and six seats, evenly dispersed across the ballpark. All other seats were cordoned off to enforce social distancing.[17]
As COVID-19 restrictions in the city of Philadelphia began to abate, the Phillies announced on May 13 that the capacity limits at Citizens Bank Park would increase from 11,000 to 16,000 on May 21, and that the park would open to full capacity on June 12.[18] After the Philadelphia Department of Public Health announced that most COVID-19 restrictions would be lifted on June 2, the Phillies amended their earlier statement, and began allowing 100% capacity beginning on June 4. Additionally, tailgating in the parking lot was allowed to commence on June 4, and attendees were no longer required to wear face coverings in outdoor areas of the park.[19]
