# 2020–21 Aris Thessaloniki B.C. season

Last season Aris Thessaloniki finished in the 13th place (the league did not compete after coronavirus lockdown in March 2020) of the table but avoided the relegation with Greek Basket League's decision.
For this reason Aris Thessaloniki is participating in the top-tier level Greek Basket League for 67th time in a row.
The team also competed in the Greek Basketball Cup where was eliminated by Ionikos Nikaias in Phase 2.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic all matches are played behind closed doors and with weekly tests for the teams.
