The 2021–22 season was Sheffield United's first season back in the Championship since the 2018–19 season following relegation last season and was the 133rd year in their history. This season, the club participated in the Championship, FA Cup and EFL Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

During pre-season, Slaviša Jokanović was appointed as manager on a three-year deal, however was sacked on 25 November 2021 after a poor start to the season. Paul Heckingbottom was appointed, and took the team from lower mid table into the playoffs by May. The season was ended in heartbreak, however, after Morgan Gibbs-White missed the deciding penalty in a shootout defeat to Nottingham Forest.
