# List of 2020–21 Super Rugby AU transfers

This is a list of player movements for Super Rugby teams prior to the end of the 2021 Super Rugby AU season. Departure and arrivals of all players that were included in a Super Rugby squad for 2020 or 2021 are listed here, regardless of when it occurred. Future-dated transfers are only included if confirmed by the player or his agent, his former team or his new team.

## Notes

* 2020 players listed are all players that were named in the initial senior squad, or subsequently included in a 23-man match day squad at any game during the season.
* (did not play) denotes that a player did not play at all during one of the two seasons due to injury or non-selection. These players are included to indicate they were contracted to the team. For the 2020 season, Super Rugby was suspended after 7 rounds of matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with regional tournaments taking place there after. Players listed as 'did not play' did not feature in any of the 7 rounds of matches played that season. For the 2021 season, players listed as 'did not play' did not feature in any of the Super Rugby AU or Super Rugby Trans-Tasman fixtures that season.
* (short-term) denotes that a player wasn't initially contracted, but came in during the season. This could either be a club rugby player coming in as injury cover, or a player whose contract had expired at another team (typically in the northern hemisphere).
* Flags are only shown for players moving to or from another country.
* Players may play in several positions, but are listed in only one.
