# 2021–22 FC Girondins de Bordeaux season

The 2021–22 season was the 120th season in the existence of FC Girondins de Bordeaux and the club's 28th consecutive season in the top flight of French football. In addition to the domestic league, Bordeaux participated in this season's edition of the Coupe de France.
Bordeaux were allowed to stay in the top flight after their appeal against relegation to Ligue 2 along with Angers were accepted. Bordeaux had a disastrous campaign, finishing bottom and relegated to the second division. On 14 June, its relegation to the Championnat National (third tier) due to financial issues was confirmed. However, this decision was later overturned by the FFF executive committee.
