The fixture list for the 2021 season was issued on 14 February 2021. The regular season comprised 18 rounds.[1]

The end-of-season play-offs featured the clubs finishing second to sixth in the regular season in a four round elimination competition to decide which team accompanied the team finishing first into the Championship for 2022.[2]

Four matches were postponed due under the RFL COVID-19 protocols and were not rearranged.[3]

All times are UK local time (UTC+1) on the relevant dates.
