The 2020–21 season was Al-Shorta's 47th season in the Iraqi Premier League, having featured in all 46 previous editions of the competition. Al-Shorta participated in the Iraqi Premier League, the Iraq FA Cup and the AFC Champions League, having won the league title in the 2018–19 season (the 2019–20 league season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Al-Shorta were unable to defend their league title as they ended the season in fourth place, while they reached the semi-finals of the Iraq FA Cup and were eliminated from the AFC Champions League group stages.[1][2]
