# 2020–21 Ergotelis F.C. season

The 2020–21 season is Ergotelis' 91st season in existence and 14th overall in the second tier of the Greek football league system, and second after the foundation of the Super League 2. The contents of this article cover club activities from 1 July 2020 until 30 May 2021.
The season began for the club in January 2021, after a lengthy postponement of the Super League 2 championship due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Ergotelis, along with all other clubs participating in the competition, were excluded from participation in this year's edition of the Greek Football Cup, which was held only with the 14 teams participating in the Super League.
After overcoming a slow start with two losses in the first two games, Ergotelis impressed with performances during the First round of the tournament, where the team went 7-1-0 over the next 8 games. After a sluggish start to the Second round, Ergotelis entered the Promotion Play-offs in 4th place. The club won all its playoffs matches against fellow promotion contenders, until eventually going down 2−1 vs. Ionikos in the final match of the season, finishing in 4th place. The game raised much controversy due to the presence of Ionikos fans at Neapoli Stadium despite lockdown regulations, as well as questionable decisions by referee Vasilios Fotias late in the game.
