The 2020–21 Uganda Premier League was the 53rd season of the Uganda Premier League, the top-tier football league in Uganda. The season ended prematurely due to a 42-day lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with only four rounds to play. FUFA announced Express FC the winners in July 2021 under league regulations that allow a winner to be declared if the league is more than 75% complete. Because the cup was cancelled during the semi-final stage, runners-up URA were selected to represent Uganda in the Confederation Cup.
MYDA and Kitara were already statistically relegated by the time the league was suspended, while Kyetume FC were relegated when the league ended early.
