The 2021 Los Angeles Angels season was the 61st season of the Angels franchise in the American League, the 56th in Anaheim, and their 56th season playing their home games at Angel Stadium. The Angels were managed by Joe Maddon in his second season as manager of the Angels. They play their home games at Angel Stadium as members of Major League Baseball's American League West Division. On September 21, the Angels were eliminated from the postseason. This was the seventh straight season without making the postseason (the third longest drought in team history) and the sixth in a row with a losing record (the worst span since the 1971–77 seasons).

Previous season

The Angels finished the 2020 season 26–34 to finish in 4th place in the AL West division, missing the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.

The M's entered this season with the longest active playoff drought in the four major North American professional sports leagues, attempting to make their first postseason in twenty years. Seattle is the only current Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise without a World Series appearance. Despite posting a 90–72 record, their best since the 2003 season, the Mariners were eliminated from postseason contention for the 20th consecutive season after Boston swept the Washington Nationals to clinch the wild card berth and the Yankees clinched the remaining wild card spot on the last day of the season. This season was the second time during their drought that they’d won two more regular season games than the World Series champions.

The 2021 San Francisco Giants season was the 139th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, their 64th year in San Francisco, and their 22nd at Oracle Park. It was the Giants' second season under manager Gabe Kapler, who managed his first 162-game season with the club, and he led them to the best record in the league.

The 2021 Oakland Athletics season was the 121st season for the Oakland Athletics franchise, all as members of the American League. It was also their 54th season in Oakland, which equaled the amount of seasons that they played in their original city of Philadelphia.

The 2023 Los Angeles Angels season was the 63rd season of the Los Angeles Angels franchise in the American League, the 58th in Anaheim, and their 58th season playing their home games at Angel Stadium.

They repeat their record from the previous year, which was 73–89. They set a mark with their eighth consecutive losing season, eclipsing the mark previously set by the 1971–1977 teams.
