On 29 November 2020, Granerud took his first ever World Cup podium by winning in Kuusamo. At the following weekend, Granerud would win both competitions in Nizhny Tagil, gaining enough points for the leader's jersey. In Planica he would go on to win a silver medal, in the individual competition at the Ski Flying World Championships, and a gold medal in the team competition. The last double header of 2020 would see Granerud win both competitions in Engelberg, making him the first Norwegian to win five World Cup competitions in a row. At the Four Hills Tournament, Granerud finished fourth overall. He also took his first podium in the Four Hills by finishing second in the new year's competition in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

The first win of 2021 would come in Titisee-Neustadt, where Granerud won the Sunday competition. At the last weekend of January, Granerud won both competitions at Willingen. He won the Willingen Six, with 41 points to countryman Daniel Andre Tande. The following weekend, Granerud would win both competitions in Klingenthal, therefore extending his lead to over 400 points in the overall World Cup. He would win a week later in Zakopane, and was announced the winner of the overall World Cup on 4 March, due to some competitions being cancelled.
