As it had every year since 2006, the season began in Sölden, Austria in October, and it ended with the World Cup finals in March, which were held in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

The Women's Downhill World Cup 2020/2021 involved seven events. Although Sofia Goggia of Italy had held the lead almost all season, she broke a bone in her knee on 31 January and missed the next two events, providing two Swiss skiers with the opportunity to pass her at the season final.
The Women's Super-G World Cup 2020/2021 involved 6 events. Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami clinched the discipline title for 2021 after the sixth event, which turned out to be the last one for the season. The final was scheduled for Thursday, 18 March in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. Only the top 25 of the specific ranking and the winner of the Junior World Championship were eligible, although athletes who had scored at least 500 points in the overall classification can participate in all specialties. Due to injuries, only 22 of the top 25 were scheduled to compete, joined by one 500-point skier and the 2021 junior champion in Super-G. However, a continuation of the bad weather that forced the cancellation of the downhill final led to cancellation of the Super-G final as well.
The Women's Downhill World Cup 2019/2020 involved 8 events. Swiss skier Corinne Suter clinched the discipline title for 2020 with just the finals to be completed. Thus, when the finals, scheduled for Wednesday, 18 March in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, downhill was the only discipline championship not affected.
