The 2021 Cleveland Indians season was the 121st season for the franchise. It was the ninth season under the leadership of manager Terry Francona and sixth under general manager Mike Chernoff. The Indians played their home games at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
This was the team's final season under the name Indians. Following the season, the team became known as the Cleveland Guardians after decades of controversy surrounding the "Indians" name.
The Indians made MLB history by becoming the first team to be no-hit three times in a single season. [1] Those three no-hitters came off of Carlos Rodón of the Chicago White Sox on April 14, [2] Wade Miley of the Cincinnati Reds on May 7, [3] and Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader of the Milwaukee Brewers on September 11. By coincidence, Zach Plesac was their starting pitcher in all three no-hitters. In addition, they were held hitless in a seven-inning doubleheader game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The White Sox played their home games at Guaranteed Rate Field. On September 23, after a win against the Cleveland Indians, the White Sox clinched the American League Central for the first time since the 2008 season and became the first Major League team of the 2021 season to clinch their division. They finished the regular season with 93 wins, the third most in the American League and their most wins as a franchise since the 2005 season. By winning the American League Central, it secured the team their first back-to-back postseason appearance in franchise history after having clinched a wild card berth in the previous season. They lost to the Houston Astros in the 2021 American League Division Series. As of the 2024 MLB Season, this was the last season the White Sox qualified for the MLB postseason.
